    yea we really should mandate that when we implement some firm rules for trading and such. standard advancing of 3 days works well and if there happens to be a game in week 16-17 that has playoff implications, waiting an additional 24 hours would be ok.

    Should definitely ban all computer trades unless it was offered and you post a pic. I like that rule. There's most likely going to be less than 10 CPU teams. If everyone gets 1 computer trade per year to do what they want those rosters are going to be pillaged in no time.

    Also, this fantasy draft is going to fucking suck with this many users. No way everyone is able to do it on the same day. I assume the goal is to do it on a Sunday night?

    gonna have to be a sunday night for sure
    i'd imagine most people are only gonna be around for the first dozen rounds which wont be that bad. then only the super srs will stay for the rest.

    I have practically played the last 2 seasons with 24 players (extra wr and cb) and everyone else is FA post-draft. So I will probably let the CPU fill out my 2-deep

    If anyone decides they want the Packers, I'd like to be the Patriots. I just want those 'Merica based colors mainly, but right now the conferences are 11 AFC and 10 NFC.

    I've changed over to wanting Coach Mode instead of Owner Mode.....mostly because I'm the Titans and I assume my franchise will be hemorrhaging money for no reason.

    our official policy as of right now is we're trusting EA to fix the owner mode finances issue as promised in their release announcement a couple months ago.

    Hopefully they do because I'm the goddamn Raiders. And with the fantasy draft and all it's essentially impossible to do a "do over" if owner mode still blows

    Can we quick sim a couple seasons of owner mode before committing all our league to it... If I know EA, and I've been playing their games for a while, they will not only fail to fix it but somehow make it worse while adding some cool graphics.

    it would be an easy fix. everyone retires as an owner and rejoins as a coach

    won't that be a problem with the whole Danny O'Cheesin rule: if a player retires/is booted from the league they can't rejoin the league as their old team until the next season.

    I guess we could figure out what week is the transition between years, I think it's after re-position players week post-draft, and just retire that week and come back the next week when FA hits. Would probably be a shit show though

    in our other league I got to 4 straight AFC championships and was still in the red as the Chiefs. The game booted me and then the team "blacklisted" me from being their owner, forever. It was a bad day.

    We should have a division for "bad" players. Gives one of us a shot at the playoffs.

    I would give up the Saints to play against other bad players more often, winning a game or two a year against real players would be a fun change
