No franchise tag/stadium stage rule question

[Nemesis]

Question regarding this rule. I'm assuming your simming right past the ticket stage like Ben used to? If so, are we going to get ticket prices rexed for each team, each season?

This is the one stage I am not 100% set on based on what I am finding. My plan IS tentatively to sim past franchise/ticket prices. However, I wrongly assumed that by doing so it would essentially "auto-rex" ticket prices. I now know I would need to go through each team individually and rex them myself (probably only a 30 minute task). My concern is that my memory sucks. I'm already a bit worried about forgetting to turn off injuries in preseason, lol. So now I am going back and forth in my head on whether I add the stage and allow both Franchise Tag and ticket prices. I personally like the franchise tag but know that many don't.

Anyways, the answer to your question is - yes. Assuming I stick with the current plan, I will go in and rex each team's ticket prices each season.

i'd consider asking ben -- he must have found a solution to auto rex tickets for all teams. i'd be surprised if he did it manually for all teams, specially when running 3 leagues (and the ticket prices were being rexxed for all 3).

Ha! Almost verbatim what I said to Grim. I can't imagine Ben (or anyone) wanting to do it manually for so many seasons. I think Grim is planning to reach out to him on Slack.

i think i remember now from one of the ihof discussions -- iirc the trick was to put all teams to computer controlled right after the staff draft and before franchisetag/stadiums, and turn them back to human controlled after the stage.

Ha! That's exactly the kind of quirky workaround I'd expect from FOF. Definitely easier, but also easier to forget. My disdain for the manual process would have probably helped me remember.

That's a good idea, but will it allow the AI to franchise players?

Response from MIJB:

i wish i could tell you, but Ben wrote it down on the forum, which is no longer accessable. You'll have to ask him himself.

It almost definitely would, but I can void/cancel contracts after the fact, so that piece could be managed.

Also of note is that I am open to potentially changing things as we go. I'll start this season in the IHOF stages mold (some slight changes), but if it seems like we need to change something, we'll look at those types of things each off-season for potential redesign. For now though, I set everything up based on the IHOF format, so don't want to tweak anything this season.

Would it be easier just to say, no one franchise tag anyone during that stage, or it will be voided and you will be whipped 70 times with a wet noodle?
