Works fine for me but I can see a few GMs feeling the squeeze of 13.5 hours before an important export. zbuckley, for example, was hoping for multiple days.

There is absolutely NO need for multiple days between sims. Even during the most important days, it takes me less then an hour a day to review the previous days signings, and make my offers. No offense to z, but does it really take 30+ hours to look over 20 or so free agents and decide to offer?

[BuddaKINGII]

I agree...its a big let-down to have to wait to offer Free-agents between FA1 and FA stage 2.

[GGill]

Well, some folks do work [odd shift hours] have kids and ALL that goes with that, [basketball, teachers meetings, clubs, scouts] that requires dads taxi to operate. Wives that have jobs that require them to be out of town at times, so dad then becomes cook, tutor, housekeeper. AND the occasional [now weekly] snow storm that requires snow removal operations.

Jave WHY didn’t you join up with a faster simming league? If I recall correctly we had this debate early last season and the majority wanted to keep it slow!

[BOSS]

It is a slow league but we go full throttle during offseason.

[Matt]

the reason i chose monday and tuesday to make the switch is because FA1 is essentially a wasted stage if you have cap room.

[Beeznik]

Ah, staff hiring. The most worthless part of FOF. Look, Cleveland hired a new HC last year who went 13-3 and got them to the Bowl Game. So, they fire his ass and hire a new HC. Yep...

[Kobeck]

there was always whispers about Roberson. While he was in Anchorage he used to swim with the fishes. Im not saying hes a gay fish


but this tweeter photo was pretty damning

[Mike17]

Yea, I like fish dicks

[JesterBlaze]

I don't get it!!

[BuddaKINGII]

Roberson got fired twice for liking fish-dicks!

[Brando]

I can do anything I want. I'm the genius voice of a generation!

[BuddaKINGII]

I'm glad I didn't bid on Swilling. Hines looks like an upgrade especially if he goes up in a couple of spots from vg to exc!

That's what she said! lmao
