We're in the home stretch of testing. A two-season speed rehearsal is now underway: I'll be running an allocation draft and two full seasons to put every feature through its paces and catch anything that needs fixing. I've already done a lot of testing, so I don't expect any major issues.
See "The Allocation Draft Plan" post in Announcements for draft plan
While the rehearsal runs, please play around with your draft settings, your Priority List and Position list, My DA and all the other tools on the site. Post comments and suggestions in the Site Feedback section of the forum.
Things to keep in mind
- This is a rehearsal league. All of its data will be wiped before go-live.
- The allocation draft looks a little different from a rookie draft. It's built from the game's player export rather than the rookie export, so you won't see the usual rookie cards. Player cards still show the scouting bars.
- One shared scouting file for the allocation draft. The game assigns coaches to teams at random, so none of us knows what staff we'll get. For the allocation draft only, I'm using the player scouting file from one team with reasonably good scouting coaches, so everyone sees the same ratings on every player. Once the draft is over, you'll be able to get into the game and export your own staff's scouting.
- The site's fallback pick. If you have nothing usable on your Priority List or Position list, the site picks for you using the League Default weights in My DA (the site's Draft Analyzer), at a position your roster still needs. In this rehearsal the fallback is locked to League Default; in the live league's allocation draft you'll be able to have it use your own My DA weights instead.
More details to come in those announcements. For now, play around and send me any questions.
Thanks!
