Cut-Down Day round 1

The good news - many of you exported tonight and are down to 53 (or fewer) players.

The bad news - three of you are still over the limit of 53.

Kalispel - 54
North Liberty - 54
Pearl Harbor - 59

Since I'm such a nice guy, I'm going to give you each another chance to cut down to 53 players tomorrow night. If you are one of the three teams mentioned above, I'll run another sim tomorrow (Friday) night and you can again try to get down to 53 players. If you don't, I'm fining you a 7th round draft pick as well as making your cuts myself. So like, give me an export.

Next sim for non-morons is Saturday night - Midweek Sim Prior to Regular Season. This sim will give you all a chance to sign players who didn't survive cut-down day.

Hmm,

I didn't know what to do with 1 outstanding rookie signee that I didn't want to sign. I signed him and that put me over the 53 limit. I didn't know that until I looked at the sim a second ago. I guess I can join the other "non-morons" on saturday.

When I exported prior to this sim, i was under 53, i'm not sure what happened here...

For clarification's sake, nobody should be exporting tomorrow except Kalispel, North Liberty, and Pearl Harbor. And these teams should not try to sign anyone, only cut players to get to 53.

That way, everyone has the same crack at signing players during the Saturday sim.

If you're confused about why you're at 54, or 59 players, PM or IM me. I can only go by what I see and since last year's cut-down day was a smooth process, I'm confused about why some people are confused about why they're over. But PM or IM and we can sort it out.

First off , THANKS FOR THE NAME CALLING.

I attempted to sign 2 players free-agents. I released 2 players contingent on my signings. From the transactions only one player signed. The player who was to be cut was not. Don't know what to do if the game won't cut him like it is supposed to.

[tomr1962]

Also the reason I was attempting to sign a player was because my rookie TE got hurt and should not play. I should have had 3 TE's on my roster but I did not. The game told me I needed 2 TE's on my active roster and I am not playing my star Rookie TE and risking further injury.

[Dave]

LOL, easy Beavis. I don't actually think you're a moron.

Secondly, that's interesting about the guy not getting cut if you had him flagged as a contingent cut based on signing another player. Hopefully the fix is as simple as submitting an export tonight in which you do nothing but cut the guy you intended to cut last night. Let me know if you have any issues.

Thanks for the responses, guys.

I didn't look last sim, but I'm pretty sure you were over 53 during the last sim too since you didn't sign anyone between then and now and you're at 59 now. Unless you mean you cut down to 53 and submitted an export that the game didn't process, in which case I don't know what to tell you. Make sure you're looking at players under contract and not active players. 53 is the roster limit and 46 is the active limit.

Exported. Hopefully it takes this time.

i was trying to figure out why my cuts were not made. This is what i think happened. I offered contracts to 2 players and then picked 2 players to cut if the other 2 signed. What i should have done is pick a person to cut right after I offered the first player a contract. The second player declined my offer so neither person was cut becaues the game thought the cuts were contigent on his signing.

Input on this would be appreciated , it may help others also
