@Dilscoop: When can we expect:
1) List of players to be drafted?
2) Draft schedule?
3) Trade deadline?
I think you should publish all three ASAP and then work on other things. According to my understanding, N_W is being rewarded with a bonus draft pick for signing up a couple of days early, and by the same "logic" latecomers shouldn't have the early knowledge we should of who to draft and try and trade for before the deadline

lol bro it won't figure out all that! It won't recognize him as "Shane Warne" - the great all that you just said. But if I put him in as batting coach instead of Hayden (as all the other category is full), that will only hurt you as his stat/skill will be low for batting.
I think Warne is on my pool. You can always draft him. But we are still in talk with the retired players. (As is I only wrote down the currently available INT players, and I'm still not sure how far back I'll go in the retired category yet)

I've gathered about 400 players, I'm still adding more. I also have the schedule ready. I was thinking about posting them as soon as we have the last 2 dude and as soon as current managers finish those steps. But I guess I can post the player list so you guys can get an idea and plan things. That makes sense. Points for you.
I haven't really thought about trading though, as it being the first season. What you have in mind?

Once you post a trade deadline, the GMs here can trade players and future draft picks after the draft. Makes the draft strategy far more interesting because you end up drafting players you want to trade in order to get the players you want but couldn't draft.

Hm. But we will start draft time at the same time, officially. Right? If rest of the GMs agree with it, I don't mind.
You guys like the trade deadline idea?

Important!
My dear friend who goes by the name Beamer here, wouldn't want to miss out on any of this. He's busy with his newborn ATM, so is it OK for me to step-in on his behalf and get the Pittsburgh Penguins. He can take over whenever he logs on again. If so, then here's the info you need.
Owner: Mario Lemieux
Sponsor: United States Steel Corporation
HG: PNC Park

The list of players can be published months before the actually draft begins.

You call managers. All 15 of you decide. It's very important matter. As he can easily manipulate the draft. (Sharks+Penguins. Coincidence?)

Coaching ability and playing ability are totally different things and the AI must reflect that in order to be credible. Pull actual coaching record of the ex-player turned coach when it comes to coaching. If Warne is in your pool than I'll reassess. I'm more interested in him as a head coach to be honest.

I won't be allowed to trade between SF and PIT, problem solved. No way I'll give my dear friend anything less than a great team. Our personal relationship would be at risk if I do. Think about it.

You are in a dome. I don't think the bounce and variation is accurate. WAY too high. Any challenge before I punch in those number?

Cowboys Kit Revealed
In a star studded ceremony at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, owner of Texas Cowboys, billionaire Michael Dell of Dell revealed the franchises colors and kits of the Texas Cowboys for the upcoming Major League Cricket inaugural season. Flanked by the chairman and CEO of AT&T Randall L Stephenson and partner Sandra Bullock, the uniform was revealed in a Times Square at New York like ball-drop ceremony, where a huge replica of the uniform was lowered from the ceiling amongst balloon drops and the sounds of a thousand vuvuzela’s playing the team war cry.
Rallying the crowd, Dell spoke of Austin’s can do spirit. “Austin represents the spirit of Texas. Don’t mess with us. Don’t mess with the Cowboys”.
Major sponsor AT&T’s chairman and CEO Randall L Stephenson said, “We are damn proud to be part of this franchise. Just like they could not tear AT&T apart and the baby bells all came back home to mama, they will not be able to tear apart the ‘boys. While I was at the ATT Bell labs, I actually got to play cricket with our researchers and engineers who use to play over the weekend in New Jersey. I love the game and I know Austin will love the game and the cowboys”.
Austin native and Oscar winner actress Sandra Bullock, who is a major shareholder of the cowboys, spoke of her excitement to be part of this brand new franchise and vowed to be at each and every home game.
In a surprise announcement, Dell said that they have approached the city for permission to have a purpose built stadium constructed on the banks of Lake Travis. This 75,000 seat stadium will be home from next season. Until then, the Cowboys will be playing at 100,000 seat Texas memorial Stadium which also hosts the Texas Longhorns.

HOTDAMN DOC! I know you were being all chupchap for a reason. I was just waiting for something sick. But that went far beyond my expectations. As they say, FP material.
ZK is officially leading the money chart now. (although that ceremony must've cost a lot!)

Of course you can build a bouncy pitch inside a dome, but the bounciness would be impacted as the pitch deteriorates inside the controlled dome environment. That same controlled environment however, will create very little variation. I other words, bounce can be high but variation and deterioration lower than outdoor venues unless you're deliberately building an unstable, uncured pitch that simply goes to hell over time.

BK again, read the instructions please. You are killing me! 1 Batting, Bowling, Fielding coach. So I'm just assign GG as your batting, Lawson as your bowling, Fountain as your fielding coach. I don't think you can't afford Arnold Shcwarzenager with your Popeye chickens. IDK Who Rubel is. I don't even know how am I suppose to convert Ganzales' stats into the sim! (Good thing curator is not part of the sim. I just added for fun...)
Your deadline is almost over. Get those positions filled out, or else you will run without a trainer = injuries.
lol guess who BK's acting right now?
