Codename: Jackass Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Alright nerds, I decided to go ahead and create a new thread so our stuff doesn't get lost in the shuffle of the NFL thread. League's set up, I'm prepared to send the invites. I'm going to be PMing each of my prospective owners with further instruction. NOTE: I still have three spots open, and there's plenty of time before the draft, talking a couple of weeks. If you're interested just let me know. DRAFT TIME IS TENTATIVELY SET FOR SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1 AT 9:00 PM EDT (8:00 PM CDT and so on). If anyone has issues with this, please let me know. @Admin_Raptorpat or @Rogue_Alphonse if one of you would be so kind to float this thread I would greatly appreciate it.

panic Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Can we increase pass TD to be 6 instead of 5? Also why is there a bonus for 50+ yard TD for pass and rush but not receiving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also why is there a bonus for 50+ yard TD for pass and rush but not receiving? The lack of a receiving bonus was an oversight that I will correct. I bumped the score down on passing TDs because I don't want those chucking machine QBs to inflate the score too much in today's pass heavy game. We can put it to a vote, I'm not that committed one way or another. Edited August 16, 2018 by empty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was shooting for a twelve team league but it looks like ten is going to be all I can scrape together. We'll hash out draft time soon. I do like to draft after the teams have played their third preseason games, but we'll hammer out a time and date soon. I'm looking for either Saturday night or Sunday afternoon right now, but I've got another draft on the last Sunday of this month. I'm not against doing two drafts in one day as far as I am concerned, but I also need to see how my work schedule shapes up before I commit to anything solid. I'll know for sure by next Tuesday. EVERYONE PLEASE SET YOUR PRE-DRAFT LINEUP JUST IN CASE YOU CAN'T MAKE THE DRAFT. Edited August 16, 2018 by empty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panic Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I tried doing a mock draft on ESPN tonight and I can't get the lobby to load on Chrome, Firefox or Edge, even after allowing flash. Just get an endless "loading your draft" screen. It worked earlier this week, so not sure why its doing this now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codename: Jackass Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) ALRIGHT NERDS THE LEAGUE IS OFFICIALLY ***FULL***!!! @1pooh4u @sahockeygrl15 @Distortedreasoning @scoobdog @panic @Master-Debater131 @Zenigundam @SheemaGorath @Hachiman @StarPanda @molarbear I still have the draft set for Saturday, Sept. 1 at 9:00 Eastern. I may end up moving that in the near future depending on my work schedule and how many people can commit to that time. At the moment I'm thinking about either bumping it back an hour, to 8:00 Eastern, or moving it to Sunday evening on the 2nd. I may even go ahead and do it this coming Sunday if you all are cool with that. Let me know what works for you and I'll come up with a time that suits the most people as possible. I'm thinking we'll do one minute between picks. That should be plenty of thinking time but will also help speed things along in the first few rounds if (when) we have folks who can't make it. I'm happy with the scoring settings as they are right now. If you think something will make things more exciting, let me know. Set your pre draft lineup just in case. You can do that by going to your team page and clicking "Edit Pre-Draft Player Rankings". You can assert further control over autopick if you use "Edit Autopick Strategy" so you can set it to stop drafting once you reach a certain number of each player instead of ending up with a bench full of wide receivers and one running back. Those links can be found next to your avatar. I'll also be posting this in the league's message board in case anybody misses it here.

Codename: Jackass Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 It will start autopicking if you're inactive in the draft. If you're going that route I seriously recommend setting your pre-draft lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codename: Jackass Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 Go to your team page. There will be two links directly to the right of your avatar, "Edit Pre-Draft Player Rankings" and "Autopick Strategy". In Edit Pre-Draft Player Rankings, it gives you a movable tile list of every player in ESPN's database, though you can probably get by with the first 150 or so. It's kind of a pain in the ass, so you'll want to set aside an hour to do it. Your rankings probably won't differ too much from ESPN's rankings, but if you really want that extra level of control you can do it. In Autopick Strategy, it will let you set which position you want to draft for each one of your picks, from round 1 to 17. You can have it pick the best player available at any position, or the best QB, RB, WR, etc. So, say you want the best running back available in the draft with your first pick, just set it to RB for pick 1. Or WR. Or whatever you think is best for your team. Then, you can also set it to draft a minimum and maximum number of a certain position, so you don't end up with four QBs and two WRs because it was picking best player available. Autopick strategy gives you less control but it doesn't take as long. SET IT AND FORGET IT. I'm Ron Popeil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
