As of right now, we dont have the ability to make FA changes.
I was talking to CDT on facebook and we were saying perhaps every team should have one trade exception where they can make a trade with a 5 point difference since, like you say, all user teams are pretty shitty and outside the contenders pool.
I GUESS LET'S PLAY BALL?!?!?!
We can technically start whenever you guys are ready, guys can add and drop from teams anytime, so I'll expect that we will continue to add guys and we might lose a guy or two throughout the season. Once you have picked a team and have played a game, no changing teams.
I dont want to institute any additional rules at this time.
In reading all forums, guys are REALLY happy with the changes that have been made to cut down on the cheesing that past games have had. So for right now, lets just ball. No PIP rule, No fastbreak rule. No leading scorer rule.
If we need to adjust, then us admins will get together after week 1 and make changes then, cool?
No trades until your team has reached 7 games played. You can play your games against the CPU anytime.
There is a system in place, where its semi-flex. So you cant play ANY game on your schedule, you have to play the first 7, but you can play them in any order. Once the week is advanced, all unplayed games will be simmed. So its in our best interest to play the games against the CPU as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT NOTE...
I am a rookie with this new system just like all the other admins, so take it easy on us as we're learning it at the same time you guys are. As of right now, I dont have the ability to reset games through the console. Maybe as soon as they launch the website part for Online Association, then we might want to reset the league. Especially if they allow us to do Free Agents and things like that.
