For you pioneers, it'll be a one-time $1 fee, which we're charging just to be sure that the payment system works. For commercial players, it'll be $18 per year.

17 teams now. We're getting moving out to the taxiway.

How do we tell if the system thinks a player is good or not? Is there a rating system like Madden? Or is everyone a clean slate and you just have to know every player in NFL if they are good or not and the only info is their stats?
Like for instance, we could argue if Eric Fisher is shit or not, but he made the pro bowl. What does sandbox think of Fisher?

In!

Royal Oak Golden Knights from Michigan

We have top-secret algorithms for that. So there's definitely some subjectivity there. Also, there may be players who are rated lower and have more upside or vice versa. So it's possible that some of the players in the "star" draft may be declining, and there may be some free agents floating around who are ascending.

Part of this is that it's subjective, but another part is so to spur free agent and trade activity.

We should be division rivals. Crown Point, IN Railsplitters! Or at least I think that’s the name I chose lol

So there is a rating system?

Im really excited about this, I feel like its been years since we played. Thanks for making it a reality Rain Man / Cd Cox!

I was overwhelmed with the amount of cities / names available - Cant wait to see where the teams are placed.

Alex Smith was a god among men for a season or 2 there. This all happened long enough ago that I believe it was PRIOR to his Chiefs tenure so I guess Rainman just had a hard on for him.

But Smith was borderline Mahomesian for a season in one of those divisions.

Issaquah Crows have been founded.

Yeah. You can expect player performance to generally mirror their performance of the past NFL season, with several variables. First, they'll have different teammates, which makes a difference, and you may have a different game plan for them, and they'll face different opponents and schemes, and then of course there's some random variation.

Injuries from the past season are also modeled, on a full game basis. If you draft a player who missed the last eight NFL games because he got turf toe, then he'll miss those games for you as well.

You may feel free to insert an Eric Berry joke at this point.

Is Kareem Hunt suspended?? Lol

Am I reading it correct that it’s 1 hour to pick once draft starts? So when Billay picks at 11 pm and I’m sleeping, I’ll be screwed?
