Football Sandbox Simulations is open for business! Sign up now! - Page 17

**Rain Man** · 02-24-2019, 04:29 PM

Not available in stores! Buy now! Special price of only $1 for a limited time only. We're up and running!

Go to www.sandboxsimulations.com to sign up. (You can learn more about the game as well.)

For the time being, we set the price to $1, and we can't limit it to just the game testers, so if you're interested, you'll also get the $1 price. Just sign up.

This is a fresh reset, so everyone will have new teams and we'll do a new draft.

Also, please give us any feedback about what you like or don't like, and how we can improve navigation. We've updated all of the systems, so there's a chance that errors are lurking somewhere, but we think we're good to go now. Let us know if something bad happens to you.

Ford and Bosa appear to be among the more egregious oversights but such is the nature of being the test bed...

absolutely, this has nothing to do against cd or rainman. Im excited as **** about this being back. I just want to be butthurt that i didnt get them

Done and done.

It's a nice to have. As a product owner - I wouldn't want to send people out without being able to get back in quickly.

thats all

Im all about workarounds. :P

**Rain Man** · 02-26-2019, 12:11 PM

Ford was a mistake, but I think Bosa may not be. We have to automate that process, and I suspect that some formula downgraded his value for missing more than half the season. I cringed a little when I saw him on a non-Ermine roster, but I guess someone got lucky with his injury, assuming he comes back strong.

That said, I see Berry still in the draft group, so maybe the algorithm recognizes Berry's awesomeness independently.

But the bottom line is that there'll necessarily be some quirks in an automated selection of a big dataset.

We'll add it into the code. It should be an easy fix.

Yeah, that's a good point. Web site rule #1 is to not make it easy for people to leave your site.

I'm sure web site rule #2 involves pornography somehow.

Did the draft get bumped? I thought we were starting today? I could also be illiterate...

Seriously though, I see where this is going. It's going to be fun, provided I can find the time for all of it. I'll give it my best. Thanks to both of you for doing this.

Yes. Earlier Rain Man said he was pushing it back 24 hrs.

Rukdafaidas · 02-26-2019, 01:56 PM

As a newbie, this is hard. I have no idea how the system values a player or even an entire position group. Going into a fantasy football league, you're given exactly how the league is going to award points. In this league, I don't know if it's better to have a star receiver or a star linebacker....A stud RB or a stud guard.
In other words, I have no idea how to set up my draft board. The first pick was pretty easy, though.

I read in the rules that Alex Smith is a Golden God. Now accepting trade offers....

Yeah, a person or two were having system issues, so we're (well, cdcox're) trying to be sure they have access before the draft starts.

Yeah, this is real-world football. The way to think of it is as we think about the Chiefs, rather than as a game with rules to optimize. There are a lot of ways to skin a Bronco.

You gave Patrick Mahomes to an idiot NOOB.

Nobody likes you very much.
