[Guest]

What in the hell are you guys going on about?!?

Oh, the draft is still running? Cripes, people, make a list, set to auto.

Yeah, this was my bad.

#1, we had two rounds scheduled for today, but kept the 1-hour clock.

#2, the maximum timer length was 30 minutes.

In the future those times will be 30 minutes and 10 minutes, respectively.

Aston, you must be the nicest dude on the planet or something. It's our fault, not your fault. :) You didn't make people decide not to participate.

[Aston]

No, but it happens every year; life gets in the way of making every single pick through an entire draft. If the procedures are good, while still accounting for that, we shouldn't be in too much trouble

That said, we finished today! With 30 minutes to spare. Good job folks, the rookies are being entered in the books now.

Great pick Chuck. Your safety JC Reese looks like a badass in the trade screen. I wish I would have made the trade with SF and taken him.

Thanks man. Sorry, I have been out of town for the last part of the draft. Thought I would be able to log in but internet was dicey.

Just had a look at my draft and overall I think it is a success. Even after all the talent I traded I think we might actually have more talent on the team next season over last. I am looking forward to see how these guys reveal themselves.

Hope I set up my auto pick thing correctly and it was not on long wait. I was reading the schedule part and as this is my first season I have to say so far things seem to be running smoothly to me. Hoping I will now be out of cap trouble come next season (lol) was not very active in FA due to it. Now to fill holes hopefully cheaply in late FA and be set better financially come next season. PS Very happy with my 1st rd pick rest draft not as much.

Does the cut test mean anything anymore?

[Guest]

Aston has stopped talking about it.

[pizzaddict]

cut test?

[Aston]

It used to be when you cut a player, which way his ratings moved gave you a clue as to if he was better than, worse than, or about the same as he looked presently.

I don't know what the "cut test" means any more. The ratings still change when you cut a guy, but there's not enough rhyme or reason to it that I know of.

[Dutch]

I'm not sure either, but I *thought* in FOF2k7, you da all players through your scouts eyes....and in FOF7, you only see players on your team through your scouts eyes and when you cut them, it switched to the generic global scout view. Or maybe, I'm just imagining all that. :)

[Guest]

I don't think it ever had anything to do with your scout vs the league scout. It used to be a pretty effective way to determine if players were masked and in which direction.

I agree with Aston that it seems much more random now.

[Delandis]

As it should be.

[Aston]

For sure!
