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.

As we're spotchecking, the first e-mail you'll get may have some formatting issues. We've found that and are working to fix it. But it still works.

When you sign up, would you let us know if you get a confirmation e-mail? We're seeing an unexpected issue here.

We're watching from the inside. We got the $1 payment from you and see you registered on vbulletin, but we're not yet showing you in the league. Did you get to the point of picking a team name (and hitting submit afterwards)?

Sorry - we're making you guys earn your discounted membership.

Did you click the vbulletin registration in your e-mail? It should take you to the vbulletin site and give you instructions on what to do next. (Hint: Go to the "play" button.)

[brorth]

It was a little wonky, but I got through it. I'm still waiting for the "Play" button to replace the "register" button, though. I suspect you're right about the update.

[ptlyon]

[Rain Man]

It was a little wonky, but I got through it. I'm still waiting for the "Play" button to replace the "register" button, though. I suspect you're right about the update.

If you close out and then go back to sandboxsimulations.com, it should take you to the classic sandbox user panel rather than the forum. Does that work?

And the user panel will be deactivated while we're waiting on the teams to fill up.

I'm curious because I see your payment in paypal, but I haven't yet gotten an email notification and I don't see you registered as a team yet. We'll give it a bit more time just to see if it's still percolating through the system.

[wheeler08]

I think I’m in. I never seen the play button either. The link in email kept taking me to vbulliten page. So I closed it then clicked on link in OP. Then clicked something on that page and it took me to team name.

The "play" button is on the upper left side of the forum page.

I think it says 6 or 8 of 24 teams taken. What happens after 24 people? Another league starts?

Yes, and our leauge starts. You'll get some players assigned and the draft (where you can draft players better than Brock Oswieler) will start 24 hours after that.

Hmm, yeah, we need to make that more intuitive. We're a little worried that the two-step process isn't easy to follow, but we kind of need to do it that way.

[Rain Man]

After you register, you end up on a sandbox-themed page like this. You then go to the upper left to the "Play" button, as shown.

[wheeler08]

Honest question, is this something just for Chiefsplanet people, or is this something you will market and look to make a lot of money from?

[Rain Man]

Honest question, is this something just for Chiefsplanet people, or is this something you will market and look to make a lot of money from?

The latter. It's our path to affluence.

You'll see on the site that the normal price will be $18. We're offering a kindness rate to Chiefsplanet because people helped us a lot with the game testing when it was in development.

Unfortunately, no. Per the Game Manual...

Changing Team Name and City

What it is: Impossible.

When you can do it: Never.

Where it is: Maybe in some alternate univsere

We know, it's fun to re-name your team every week, but this isn't fantasy football. This is Sandbox football, where the teams are real (kind of) and the sport is serious. Your team and league is in it for the long haul, and if you change your name all the time it really screws with our databases, y'know what I mean?

When a new team is created, you can choose from a list of cities and teams, and that's it. That's the city, that's the team. Unless you're Art Modell, you can't recreate a team's identity.

If not, get out of the site and go to www.sandboxsimulations.com. Then see if you have a tab that says "play" here. If you do, click it and tell us what happens.

Yeah, there's definitely a fear of missing out effect there. It was predestined that I would be the Ermines, but if Ermines wasn't such a great name, it would be hard to scroll those lists and make a decision.

As a little Sandbox trivia, when the league is full, you'll be assigned to a conference and division based on your latitude and longitude. That way your team will have good regional rivalries and will save travel time on road trips.

How do we tell if the system thinks a player is good or not? Is there a rating system like Madden? Or is everyone a clean slate and you just have to know every player in NFL if they are good or not and the only info is their stats?

We have top-secret algorithms for that. So there's definitely some subjectivity there. Also, there may be players who are rated lower and have more upside or vice versa. So it's possible that some of the players in the "star" draft may be declining, and there may be some free agents floating around who are ascending.

Part of this is that it's subjective, but another part is so to spur free agent and trade activity.

Alex Smith was a god among men for a season or 2 there. This all happened long enough ago that I believe it was PRIOR to his Chiefs tenure so I guess Rainman just had a hard on for him.

But Smith was borderline Mahomesian for a season in one of those divisions.

[MagicHef]

Issaquah Crows have been founded.

[Rain Man]

So there is a rating system?

Yeah. You can expect player performance to generally mirror their performance of the past NFL season, with several variables. First, they'll have different teammates, which makes a difference, and you may have a different game plan for them, and they'll face different opponents and schemes, and then of course there's some random variation.

Injuries from the past season are also modeled, on a full game basis. If you draft a player who missed the last eight NFL games because he got turf toe, then he'll miss those games for you as well.

You may feel free to insert an Eric Berry joke at this point.

We'll take off during typical sleeping hours. cdcox will know the exact hours that the board clock stops.

But this is a good advertisement for having your draft board up to date. If you're not around, it'll take the top guy on your draft board when your time is up. If you don't have a draft board, it'll make a decision itself.

Hmm, I'd need cdcox to handle that level of work. If your pal can hurry up, that would be best, but I'll ask cdcox. I'm not sure when he'll be available. We've still got three openings left, so hopefully he can run in and do it.

The mid-tier players will show up immediately once the league hits 24 teams. We've talked about changing that to assign them immediately and let teams do their draft boards while they're waiting. I think that would be a site improvement.

Once the league fills, we'll do a 24 hour countdown to pick one, and teams will see their mid-tier rosters at that point and be able to start their draft boarding.

He's in now. Hasn't been assigned to a league yet but it doesn't look like Chiefs1 is full either so he should be okay. I checked his login and he doesn't have a direct link to the Chiefs1 message board nor is he showing up as a member, so I suspect he just needs to get the 'invite' from CD and all will be well.

He says he's paid his dollar and his handle is actually listed on the member list; just hasn't been put in an actual league yet. When he gets added, that'll put 24 in Chiefs1.

Eh, I'm sure it'll be fine. I'd guess CD just doesn't recognize his name and it'll get sorted out soon enough.

I haven't combed through mine but I think the best I've got is !@#$ing Tannehill...

EDIT: Suggs is nice and a handful of solid DTs in Poe, Malcom Brown, Shamar Stephen and Danny Shelton. And it's as though Sandbox is mocking me - my only 1st round pick from the original article, Kyle Long, back for another run...

[lewdog]

My roster is shit.

And how come it says I’m pick 26 when we only have 24 teams? I’m seeing like 600 teams in that draft list.

[Hammock Parties]

So what's the deal...do I have to sign these players to keep them?

[DJ's left nut]

My roster is shit.

And how come it says I’m pick 26 when we only have 24 teams? I’m seeing like 600 teams in that draft list.

Snake draft; so you should be at 23 as well.

[Rain Man]

So what's the deal...do I have to sign these players to keep them?

Once we finish the draft, you'll sign all of your players to contracts, both your base roster now and the guys you draft. Those contracts are non-competititive.

But we'll also have the free agency period so you can dump anyone you don't want if you find some available players who are better. So conserve some money for free agency bidding.

[Rain Man]

We have an error when clicking directly on another team name and we're working on that. But in the meantime, you can also select "League Roster" in the pulldown under your team name, and you can see every team's roster. (It's sortable by team, position, name, etc.)

[Rain Man]

Who's Joplin? How much draft capital do I need to trade up from #22 to #1 in the first round? I'm willing to put Matt Cassel in the deal to give you a quarterback.

[Rain Man]

Do NOT sign your players to contracts right now. Remember that you have to sign the players that you draft, too. So don't spend all your money on your backups.

Hmm, something's not working there. Some of the software updates caused glitches, and maybe this is one we haven't found. I'll let Chris know. In the meantime, you can move players over, and we'll (Chris'll) get the dragging capability working again.

Once it's working, you can drag players up and down the draft board in the order you want them.

[Hammock Parties]

I just refreshed my draft page and they're in the order I want them.

[Rain Man]

Yeah, something's definitely glitchy. I can get them to move, but it's erratic. We'll work on it.

[Rain Man]

So the undrafted available, that’s not in any kind of rating order 1-7xx? Unless I sort by position or name? Or is Vinaterri #1 rated player?

It's in descending order by player ID, which correlates to years in the league. So the default is years, but you can sort it as you wish.

I think my top four in-house players are:

Probably have to do like I do when we do our fantasy football at the bar. I just take a piece of paper and write down my starting positions then have a list of bench.
For this you could draw out 11 on 11 on the field and do your depth at each position. Kinda like they show the starters some times on tv

I get that Clay but I mean knowing my positions while drafting. Knowing what I have left or depth I need. I need to track on my own it appears? I don't see a current functioning depth chart that fills in while drafting?

Good idea Wheeler, looks like that's in order.

Now to make something I remember to take back and forth to work each day. LOL

[wheeler08]

I guess having the 20th pick comes with getting a few good mid tier players.

Hi everyone. I just got home from work and have reviewed the thread and the software. There are a few issues to address, principle among them the fact that the 2018 rookies will be part of this draft, but are not showing up yet. That will be fixed momentarily.

So trying to understand how injuries carry over from real life to this? What determines a guy to be out for our first season?

I should automatically cut Alex Smith right? Just because he was hurt half the year?

So does this also take into consideration drafting for defensive scheme (34 vs 43), strong/weak, RT/LT etc?

[Hammock Parties]

So does this also take into consideration drafting for defensive scheme (34 vs 43) ?

From what I remember there is a slight penalty if you play OLB at DE, or DE at DT or vice versa.

Defensive ends are split up by DE3 and DE4, so obviously if you play a DE4 in a 3-4 he is going to be less effective.

[ThaVirus]

I posted about my issues on the forum.

You better not draft without me!

Oh that's absolutely going to happen. This ranking system is wack and you can only sort by positions. But you also have to remember you have to sign guys too so maybe that's part of the strategy?

But yes, finding Best Player Available is gonna be ridiculously hard.

[Hammock Parties]

Pretty sure it doesn't. If it did they would be listed as such.

ah so thats what that means

[Rain Man]

You see my question. Does R or L matter in this for Ends or Linebackers?

If there's an R/L designation, then it makes a difference. If not, it doesn't.

You can (within reason) play players out of position, but there are penalties for doing so. In some instances it may not be a big penalty (e.g., moving a CB to FS), and in other cases the penalty could be large (e.g., moving a C to LT).

I can access everything except the 'draft' tab on the upper part of the screen. When I click 'draft' and the drop down includes 'rookie draft', 'initial draft' and some other tab I can't remember. If I click on 'initial draft', it never loads and other tabs I have open on Safari also crash. So I have to close everything then open it again.

Under "Communications", there's an auto-notify pulldown that will let you get e-mails.

How do I know if "turn on auto Notify" worked? It just takes me to a blank screen except it has the headers at the top?

Also are we supposed to be able to move our wanted players in draft queue up or down? I'm not seeing how to do that. I'm really hoping Jared Cook isn't my first pick if I'm not awake when my draft time comes lol

And if it auto drafts for us, is it taking best player available on some kind of special list you have? Or the list we have that has Adam Veneteri #1?

50 players on my draft board so far

I put up about 40 including a few I just want to make sure I don't forget about for later rounds. Drafting at 19 and 30 I figure I gave myself enough of a list to make 2 picks that I can tolerate (though I know I won't really like either of them as I look things over).

Then I have a couple days until the draft snakes back around to me so there's plenty of time yet to get the board re-assembled.

[Titty Meat]

I put a list of about 250 guys

[DJ's left nut]

Got myself up to 60 figuring that should probably get me at/near the 3rd round before I have to re-evaluate.

I can't complain too loudly about Dee Ford. I got a 24 yr old former first round pick who's been among the better overall DTs in the league over his 4 years.

There's nothing terribly sexy about Malcom Brown but that dude's steady as the sunrise. I worry that he won't make much of a real impact but my memory is that Sandbox was pretty good about your interior lineman actually being relevant. Jared Odrick was a destroyer of worlds for me for some strange reason.

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 fuck 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

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...

[ChiliConCarnage]

Make an option for a text message and let me know.

:D

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.

I think all the carriers have that.. I've done it with Sprint and Verizon as well if memory serves

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