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

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.

next time make it work out in my favor please

I didnt get shit for my in-house auto fill.

Denzel Perryman, Jordan Reed

yea....

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...

email your phone number

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.

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.

ROFL

Going to be funny as hell seeing what Mahomes does to this software...I'm guessing he breaks it.

I'll get on my laptop and see if that helps

I’m interested too. I don’t think you can simulate the greatness of Mahomes. I almost wonder if it will make him mediocre? But I don’t know anything about the software. Will there be Fitzmagic for 4 weeks then turn to Fitztragic?

I’ve tried twice now to enroll.

I’m not getting the email. Searched entire mailbox, spam folder, etc. Nada.


Never mind. I entered my username and password right away and it worked. HA.

Trust me you can...we had an incident in the first season where Darren Sproles was absolutely destroying the sim engine due to his high YPC...it was ridiculous and Cdcox had to edit the software.

The simulation was very, very realistic. I had Tom Brady after his 2011 season and he absolutely tore shit up despite the fact that I had the Carl Peterson Retirement Home offense:

Tom Brady - 36
Roddy White - 32
Wes Welker - 32
Jerricho Cotchery - 31
Tony Gonzalez - 37
Jason Peters - 31
Evan Mathis - 32

And then after getting the #1 seed I got bounced in my first playoff game by Alex Smith...to a team I had swept during the regular season. LMAO



Silly to think this has been in the works for six years. Can't wait!

OK, tried it again on my laptop with Chrome and the page loads but goes unresponsive.

Downloaded Firefox and tried it that way as well. Got a little further- the page actually loaded up but was also unresponsive. I got this error message:

"A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script continue.

Script: https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js:7155".

It prompted me to 'continue', 'debug script', or 'stop script'.

i don't know if this is a bug, BTW, but I have about 150 players on my board and this is the way my screen looks

https://i.imgur.com/lHMNUtI.png

Yea my screen looks like that too! I’d say it’s more of a website formatting issue than a bug. Damn what a test of patience it is to move people up and down in the queue. I tapped out after getting the first 25-30 in order

That's what your scouting department is for.

If you didn't hire a scouting department you may not have a very good team.

I guess thats what I should have done with the $17 I saved. Damn kids are only 3 and 1, they need to start earning their keep!

Ok, I registered and am number 5 of the next 24, I guess. Waiting on 19 more.

Tulsa Trojans!!

Go Ashton Campers!

Forgive me for I'm not a big tech guy and I'm sure it requires way more work but anyway this thing becomes an app some day?

I have about 50 on my board but it doesn't always let me drag them up the list. Sometimes it will let me and sometimes not matter how many times I try moving the player up my board, it does nothing.

there is no way i would want to do this on a phone

it's too detailed

I’ve learned that if it doesn’t work right, to just keep refreshing it until it does. Except for auto notify. I never could get it to work

Dunno what browser you guys are using but I'm on chrome. This seems to be a resource-hog of a site so you might try a different browser.

I am doing it on my phone right now tough.

that sounds dreadful

Auto Notify doesn't come up.

I am on Chrome.

Sorry about the draft board difficulties. It is a jquery issue, which means that part of the software is running on your browser. That code was written 6 years ago in jquery 1.7 and the current version is 3.something. I'm a crappy jquery programmer, and jquery has shitty debugging tools, so it loads these enormous lists very slowly. I will try to get it running faster this weekend.

Setting up the board was so I just added guys I liked and fixed the order at work

Same here. Worried about missing the draft. I never got the League full emails either.

Don't be sorry, we understand there are going to be issues to deal with.

The auto-notify isn't displaying correctly, but I have set everyone to receive on the clock emails. Email has been finicky, but we will hope for the best, and fix things that are broke.


Beware: if you don't pick in time and you don't have players on your draft board, the computer will pick for you.

And if you're not sure about the drafting process, you can go to the game manual and read the overview and watch the video. It covers the rookie draft, but the initial veteran draft follows the same process.

If everyone had autopicks setup for the first round, how long does the computer take to auto pick for them? What’s the fastest the first round could be? I know this probably isn’t realistic and there will be at least one guy that takes an hour lol.

ItThe fastest possible first round in that scenario is about one-tenth of a second, if people have a draft board and click the little "lock" button at the top of it. Locking it is the key; otherwise it sits for an hour before picking your top choice.

As a public service announcement, please have a draft board and lock it, everyone.

I don't know if I want to have it locked then. I'd like to have a few minutes to see who's been picked by the time it gets to 20. It might change my strategy of what position I want to draft.

I’m not locking mine either until the later rounds. **** that.

Also, when will the draft officially start?

12:39 pm.....I assume Central time

Wut? Starts at 6:30 PM.

On my draft page, it says "This draft is scheduled to begin 2019-02-27 10:39 AM and will conclude 2019-03-26 11:39 AM."

Huh. For some reason my clock on the site is six hours fast.

Ah there we go. Update your time zone in the forum options.

https://sandboxsimulations.com/vBull...do=editoptions

I'm now showing a draft start time of 12:39 PM central time.

Im central and it also shows me 12:39

lessdoooooit

LET'S GO COMMISH

Has it started? I’m not at home and it’s not loading on my phone now.

Um.

So, that draft thing?

HERE


WE



GO

:cuss:

not yet...waiting in suspense as we speak.

Pick bro ita obvious who your choice is

I don't believe the draft has started, for some reason. The time left on his pick is still NA.

This was posted on 2.25 - does that mean the draft time has changed?

I know just being stupid

No.

I think cdcox forgot to hit the button.

Kind of planned my day around this...assuming 1st rd or 2 would be going fairly quickly.

getting fluuuuustered.

I mean c'mon...who forgets to hit the damn button?!?! LMAO

How funny would it be if the first guy didn’t make a queue and let it pick Adam Vinatieri for him?

Maybe they made a choice like on Lost

Meanwhile im sitting here burning the shit out of the roof of my mouth on some pizza.

no i will not wait for it to cool.

this is just a pyramid scheme to bilk as many people as possible out of $1

I’m using chrome on my iPad. I have a queue set up. I can’t turn off auto pick. I can uncheck it, but it comes back when I refresh the page.

Who’s up?!?!0

According to sandbox, nobody.

Where’s RainMan?

If you get a million people to sign up, that's a million dollars

Hootie got banned for shit like this.

Just sayin'...

$29 down, $999,971 to go.

Dang. No idea why the draft didn't start. I need to drive home and figure out dinner, then will get it going. Give me a couple hours. :|

I have no idea.

I prefer to think of it a million-shiny-pebbles scheme.
