Remember that any trades done this week must have the picks moved in the utility.

Argh - I retained my scout who was very good at QBs and was all set to try to trade up to 1.1 or 1.2 to get the top QB but this QB class looks pretty iffy. At first glance the draft seems deeper than last year with a bunch of good quality players at the top but nothing to make me want to move up. Disappointing for my specific needs.

[Kobeck]

why is the draft taking so loooooooooong!

[Matt]

bump

changed the official start time to 7PM on friday night. this will give you all 1 more stage for signings and interviews.

[Suicane]

FYI
in future versions of this game, should there be any, I really wish that Jim would allow us to "save" progress of an export. I hate that if I go through in FA2 and offer contracts to a number of players and click export...................................and then i remember i need to do some interviews.....fuck. How hard would that be?

LOL I was thinking the same in the end I couldn't face redoing the contract offers.. so I will interview next turn...

I usually keep FOF open for a long period of time and go back to it during the day during these times. My problem is that before exporting I have to wonder "Did I do something dumb like try to see what a guy would be like at a different position at some point today?".

exactly. I wouldn't trust myself to NOT do something like that.

[Hoosier]

I hate overwriting the exports...I do that a lot...

[sovstar]

I used to write the details of any contracts/extensions I offered in a text document or spreadsheet. Save it, then do an export. Could refer back to the spreadsheet if I needed to change things.

Wonder if I could get Suicane to implement such a system?

you mean crayons on construction paper?
