The Dugout I updated the OP of this thread to be more informational then the previous "Important Dates" threads. They will now contain the projected sim schedule for the current season. Just wanted everyone to be aware that this information is now here.
Missed Draft Picks: soxandgators - Missed 1st round pick. sawemoff - Missed 2nd round pick. ryalaman - Missed 2nd round pick. sonn - Missed 2nd round pick. pitt4life21 - Missed 2nd round pick. Dylema (2) - Missed 2nd round pick.
Not a big deal, the draft isnt an "excusable" event hence the strike but I doubt you'll get close to 5 so I wouldnt sweat it.
The Dugout Ty and myself have decided to make a slight change to the sim schedule. Sim's 8, 9, and 10 (June 11th through July 11th in game) will now be 24 hour sims, essentially making the three sims in between the completion of the MLB draft and the NBL draft pool reveal part of the 24 hour sim schedule. The final two sims in July will still be 48 hours to allow for the completion of the NBL draft and trade talks prior to the deadline. Doing this allows us to cut 3 real life days off the season time, making an entire season (opening day to seasons end) last exactly 3 weeks. The sim schedule in the original post has been updated to reflect these changes.
I had started to wonder if we would turn June into a 24 hour after draft completion then go back to 48 to end July.
Lol no worries. I'm not winning anything this year, and I think Roggie is going to help me get Pepe called up at the right time so it's all good.
