Old and new GMs alike note that draft interviews must be used by early FA5. This might be earlier than you're expecting and can sneak up on ya!


Throwing an idea out that I haven't thought through: Depending on the staffing situations and potential franchise tags of the open teams it might be beneficial to run the first 4 stages before the week long break so as to allow draft class write-ups. There's also a slim chance the draft class itself attracts a new GM to an open team.

My memory is not serving me... weren't there some early stages we had all talked about combining?




PS - I hate this game.

Under the current proposal, would the draft class show up on June 2 or 6?

[JesterBlaze]

When the franchise tag stage is run the subsequent file shows us the draftees. On Sui's current proposal June 2nd we'd see them.

[Suicane]

Point taken. But I really think from my point of view that i'd rather be able to hire a staff. I'm open to everyones opinions though.

Friday June 25th: Preseason Week 2
Sunday June 27th: Preseason Week 3
Tuesday June 29th: Preseason Week 4 Midweek

Can we get a midweek in there

[Suicane]

I'll think about it :lol:

[Jave]

I'll think about it :lol:

I have had so many frikking players injured starting or playing them with "strained hamstrings" or "strained quads" and sure as shit they go down for 33 weeks with "torn" whatthefuckever that I will NEVER again start questionable or minor injured players. I can't stand stretching the preseason out any more then we have to, but it could be the difference between a 3 week injury and a career ending one.

I think pre-season 1 and 2, especially if the teams in w1 don't play in w2

[Matt]

we'll tie up the end of the schedule when we see the next season's schedule

[tarcone]

I leave at the start of early FA and get back at the end of TC.

THAT was it . Yes. Pre 1 and 2, so all teams get a game under their belt at the same time.

Not that I care. I hate this game.

when we see the preseason schedule, we'll likey be able to tighten up the end of the schedule by 1 week. I would expect we could start Reg season Week 1 on july 4th
