2013 Season Update

[Goodell]

Pending any changes to my schedule or new information (I was really hoping they'd publish some of the week 1 grade updates), I'm planning on simming our week 1 tonight. I have been working on a more automated way of running the games but I still need to double-check a few things more manually and make a couple adjustments before simming results in some cases. I'm hoping to switch over to where the system generates these games itself at some point this season with less manual involvement from me.

In that case, we'd unlock the depth charts again tonight after our games simmed.

Some things change once we move to regular season mode tonight. Any players cut will start to involve partial season charges (minimum one game check for everyone) as always. If you have a more veteran player, their annual salary is guaranteed if they're on your roster week 1. If you have very little cap space, you can't make a lot of regular season transactions because cutting players starts to cost more with partial season payments.

I've contacted many teams as we worked to get everyone in 53-man roster and salary cap compliance. In some cases, trades to rectify that quickly are pending once rosters are unlocked tonight. In general, teams have 48 hours to correct situations, and we'll be looking to automate that policing more ahead also. Thanks and let's have a great season.

Week 1 is in the books. Depth charts unlocked if you need to make any lineup changes for week 2. Players in the games tonight will be locked tonight but the rest of the players will be unlocked until Sunday's games. As always you can send me a PM if any questions or need to make a depth chart change while locked (so long as doesn't involve a player whose already played in that week to be simmed).

On to week 2...

Week 2 simmed. Depth charts unlocked.

Quick note that your team schedules (linked from your team roster) have a direct result to the game results now.

Hoping to continually add a little more polish and a little more automation for me each week, toward the aim of possible league expansion after this season as I gradually get the systems more ready for that. Hoping to have more archived info, team statistics, game previews/reviews, etc. coming ahead.
