I agree, which is why the back-loaded deals are a problem.

Do you need an origin account to be able to do stuff on the website?

Free agency and draft wise.

Yes.

And this is the one Sunday where I can't do something in the afternoon, as my kid has his Christmas play at 3.

Screw it! Let's advance now lol

I'm still waiting on a trade to get approved to clear up some more cap space. I need it cause without it I will most likely get outbid on 1 of the 2 players I want.

well i have about 15 million in cap space i can use but id like to only use about 7 of maybe even 8-9 of it.

You can set yourself ready from the website FYI.

I kicked Michael Boley to the curb. Bastard dropped down to 74 overall and it saved me 4 million more.

I think we'd make it through more seasons if we had 3 days for games instead of 4.

When we send in trades we're only factoring in the remaining contract, correct?

Meaning I'd have to add up the remaining contract myself, not go by the total on the screen.

Yes, it will be under their player card->contracts. Whatever is remaining in those years is what someone else would pay, that doesn't include whatever bonus you would be paying them those years.

Alright, that's what I thought. Im not as knowledgable on football contracts as I am with hockey and especially baseball.

I'm on the games menu so I'm just adding the remaining years together with my phones calculator

Someone take Tom Brady from me.

I'm with blade, I'd like to see if our trade is approved before we advance so ill know I have enough! I don't want to over extend of course as I hav a very specific need I need to bid on.

thread is dead its as if everyone is waiting on something lol

I'm not sure how well my online offers yesterday went. Steve Smith apparently even turned down my 7 million/year overpay. And even depth guys went straight to free agency. I don't think anyone signed that round, so hopefully they do this one.

Yes, that is correct. We'll be advancing in just under 4 hours...unless everybody readies up before then.

All those times work for me, so I'm fine with having that as a general outline. I would add one more option though (Sunday 1PM EST), since there does seem to be a conflict on Sunday...and I'm hoping we can find some kind of compromise.

Yeah...that seems pretty accurate. With offseason and preseason, it put us a little slower than last year...but we also got an earlier start. Doing 4 seasons seems about right. I know people always make the argument for speeding up the pace, but we ALWAYS have unplayed games on the day of the deadline. I don't want to speed up the pace just to end up simming more games. Sometimes, there's only so much you can do. And there's always the option of not buying next year's game and just continuing with this franchise! (ha...I'm sure people will go for that)

This is exactly what I did, lol.

Sunday at 1 still poses a problem for me, as we have to leave around 130. Not sure how much of the draft we'd get through in 30 minutes.

Hah, I was going to suggest that too.

Well, it looks like there might not be a compromise then. We might just have to let people vote on the times and let the chips fall where they may. Not sure what else to do. At any rate, I'll send out a PM and have people list ALL times that they could make it.

lol i have 2 picks total i dont care wut time we do the draft. wutever works for the people that are active on the thread is way i plan to vote since i think they help keep the league alive more than anyone else that isnt active
