Setting Up The Game
- Open DDS Pro Football 2021 - make sure you're on 5.0.7 (it will say the version in the bottom right-hand corner of the game).
- From the main menu of the game click "Load Online Game"
- Enter this URL "http://www.bflsim.com/bfl/Brewers Football League.bin"
- The game should download all the files, images, etc.
- Find your team from the dropdown menu on the left - click the team dashboard and log in.
- DM me for your unique password to your team. You should be able to change this afterwards under Team Info - if not I can always change it to something on my end.
What You Should Do Once Logged In
- View your Coaches that have been randomly assigned to you (their tendencies/strategy may assist you in your draft strategy)
- Scout the Draft by either selecting “Scout Draft”, which is the binoculars icon from the top of the toolbar, or by viewing the Draft Preview Magazine or run a mock draft by pressing Advance. You can also view the entire draft class, their ratings, combine stats and personality traits with the below Google sheets link:

or

- View Draft Eligible player's contracts - click on the player's profile in game and press "contract". Just like the Hockey league, the players will start with their own contracts.
- Double-check your Team Info (stadium information, colors, etc). You should be able to mod these yourself under Team Info - if not, I can do this for you. Until we know more about the game, please refrain from changing the playing surface/dome settings during the season.
- The current draft order is incorrect, sorry Pat. We will be doing a draft lottery.
Tips & Tricks
- View the entire game manual here: https://wolverinestudios.freshdesk.c...ns/44000306360
- Learn more about the player ratings: https://wolverinestudios.freshdesk.c...-ratings-guide
- We have removed OVR ratings for each player to create a 'fog of war'. Don't be confused by the "Skills" section which outlines how well a player fits a specific position (as some players can be moved to different positions on the depth chart - think Taysom Hill).
What's Next?
- We will run a draft lottery this coming Friday on Slack to assist you with Draft strategy/scouting. It will be a snake style draft.
- Draft will begin mid to late next week on Google Sheets.We will have everybody do a roll call before then.
