That's pretty good....I don't have shit for inhouse guys.

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?

You get him for the length of time he was available in real life.

So I could play Jimmy G the first three weeks of the year, or any three games?

OK rookies are showing, but not yet movable. Working on it.

First three weeks.

So we have to research then to see/make sure certain players weren't injured this past season?

That's kind of a bummer.

It's very easy to do that. Just click their name in the list.

Are you guys able to move people over from the left to your draft queue? It will let me do the first couple of guys on the list but no one else.

Just click the arrow.

Yea, no kidding. I click the arrow and nothing happens. I have 3 players in queue and now i just click the arrow and nothing happens. If I refresh page it gives me an error, then logs me out

When someone is listed as DE or OLB, does the difference between Right and Left matter? Obviously it does in real life but I don't see it differentiated here.

Its working a little better now. it quit working after having 3 players, I locked list. Then logged out and back in and it seems to be working so far

Click a little harder.

Sites really wonky for me. I can't access the draft forum or whatever. The site crashes.

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

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.

I posted about my issues on the forum.

You better not draft without me!

50 players on my draft board so far

Without a ranking system, its super hard to find players. I feel like I'm gonna pass better players with my pick just because I cant see a rank of best players available

If I draft Vontae Davis will he quit a game at halftime?

Actually now that I look more at it

Finney
Long
Lang is a decent interior

Nicholson and Williams is a formidable safety duo

Ngata and Wake would be dope if this was 2011

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

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.

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

This is what went wrong for Scott Pioli.

ah so thats what that means

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).

What can you get to before it crashes? Can you get onto the game site? Into the forum? And what system are you using?

worked

125-man board set

LET'S DO THIS

https://nbcprofootballtalk.files.wor...5&h=296&crop=1

We are going to delay at least another 24 hours to fix a few more things and allow people a chance to set their draft boards.

Trade block is fixed and you can click on team names in the list of picks.

Huge mistake on my part on Dee Ford. I copied a column of "1" one row too far.

I'm not seeing them

They are at the bottom of the list of players on the left. It's scrollable. Refresh your page if you don't see them.

I will check things again in the morning. Then I need to go to the real job and won't check in until evening.

Its tempting but man, I just don't know if I'll have the kind of time to devote to this.

Is there a way to set an alert so I can get notified somehow when it's my turn to draft, instead of always have to check the site?

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.

I'm on an iPad, OS 10.3.3, using Safari browser.

Cool, thanks. I'm thinking it may be a system issue. Crossing my fingers that cdcox can figure out how to address it.

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

That said, I'm not sure it's working right now. The software updates over the past two years have introduced a number of glitches, and we can only find them when people stumble across them. So cdcox will look into it and let us know.

Safari isn't running well for me either. Any chance you can use Chrome? It is still slow, but at least it works. I found a potential solution to the slow draft page but probably won't get a chance to try it until Saturday.

Did you get an email about the league being full and to prepare your draft board? If so, you will probably get an email telling you that you are on the clock and have 1 hour to make your pick.

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 am using Chrome and at times it's very slow and won't load the full page. At other times it's fine. It's pretty glitchy.

I can’t get the instant notification to work from iPhone. It just takes me to a plain page when I click on it. So I never got email about draft. I will try later on computer.

We really wanted to do text notifications and it seemed like a no-brainer, but those involve a cost, and the number of communications in this game can be large. It's bizarre - we likely would've needed to double or triple the price of the game to do text notifications.

Well shoot. No problem.

Last question. What will draft likely start? Do I need to bring my depth chart to work with me today? I have meetings all ****ing day so not sure what good it would do me though.

How many do we have so far?

Joey Bosa isnt in the league

He's on someone's team, bonehead.

He's all mine!

I thought they said the draft was delayed until Wednesday. You need to be more dedicated. You take your depth chart every where you go! And don't let it get stolen!

wait what are you ****ing serious? Someone got Bosa while I got shit

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?

I got Alex Smith too! To the Ship!!

Angelo Blackson
Austin Johnson
Brett Hundley
Cameron Artis-Payne
Chris Thompson
Chuck Clark
Cody Kessler
Daniel Munyer
Erik Magnuson
Jaron Brown
Jason Croom
Joe Cardona
Jordan Willis
Josh Malone
Justin Hardy
K'Waun Williams
Kwon Alexander
Lafayette Pitts
Leonard Wester
Logan Paulsen
Patrick Omameh
Ramik Wilson
Robert Nkemdiche
Rodney McLeod
Sherrick McManis
Trent Murphy
Trent Williams
Vincent Taylor

So, this is the shit I get but someone gets Joey Bosa lmao. I mean Brett Hundley, at least Alex Smith was a starter

Yeah.
I'm thinking just based on my auto-fill and draft position I am already in a 5-year rebuild.

Registered and looks like you guys are full.

Golden Beavers will have to wait until next season!

I just registered. Bummed that I missed out on the first wave, as one of the early adopters. Looks like I now have to wait for 21 more teams to join for another league?

Are you Mr. 3 of 24?!

I don't think you have to wait till next year, just until the league fills up and it starts. So it could be tomorrow or next week. Surely this thing is meant to handle more than one league running at a time.

ROFL

Rename your team the Browns.

I can’t get the instant notification to work from iPhone. It just takes me to a plain page when I click on it. So I never got email about draft. I will try later on computer.

Stop using the phone for instant GRATIFICATION and you might be able to get instant notification to work.

This should be in a fortune cookie

Done the same thing on computer

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.

I put a list of about 250 guys

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

As long as I can get him to stay on the right side of the LOS.

I have no ****ing clue what kind of defense I will run. The draft picks are literally going to decide that LMAO

see wtf dee ford really

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.

I got AJ McCaron and DeShone Kizer... are you serious?

PS: it would be nice that if I clicked on a dude, a new tab opened up to Pro Football reference vs leaving the site... :P

im not trying to bitch too much, but a guy like dee ford and joey bosa should absolutely have to be drafted. Yes i understand bosa was injured last season

{right click}

{open in new tab}

Done and done.

Oh no doubt. But again, we're kinda Beta 2.0 and I believe CD has acknowledged that he kinda dicked that up so there are a few things in there that ought not be.

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