^ what he said. People need to look at their teams in the context of other teams before bitching. Please.

[RedSox24]

well my farm team is good but i say it sucks cause i dont have any red sox :thumbdown: buut its pretty good, excpt the OF

[Yanks in 05]

All 30 teams will start out financially equal, everybody with 80 million bucks

Well it does look like this is not true in the game. Like i got 0 fa or ext money. While the yankees got over 80 mil in each. I would have picked another team if I knew that.

The salaries have upset the initial balance of money, but every team is going to have an 80 million dollar budget. Meaning if you're the Brewers you will be in deep trouble if you don't start moving guys soon, and the Rangers are in a very good position, payroll wise.

Huh?

[CrespoBlows]

[Bonds*]

Nothing is updated until the sim...

[stocker323]

I have one complaint. I think you need to have the trades posted as quickly as possible. Because there has probably been an abundance of trades and none have been posted. I think that we should be able to post the trades in the completed trades section, like we did before and if the trade council has a dispute they will decide about the trade and veto it in that thread.

Up to date, there have been 3, and there will always be a 24 hour period for Council members to voice their concern.

[I LOVE WOMENS VOLLEYBALL]

ok not really complaints just some questions. and some complaints.

first off to all u bitching about having a bad team caus you only have 2 stars: if u think about it in real life the teams on average have only like 2 stars, its not like yahoo fantasy baseball where you only have 10 ppl in ur league so u get the best players in the league. its a 30 team league so ur gunna get worse players, thats just tthe way it is. secondly all the player prices just changed today so i went from an 80 mil salary to like 60 mil, whats up with that (not complaining). thirdly if we cut people, what happens to their salary? ummm i think thats it for now. moral of the story: stop bitching.

[Bonds*]

so i went from an 80 mil salary to like 60 mil, whats up with that (not complaining).
I updated with real-world contracts.


thirdly if we cut people, what happens to their salary?
You assume all of their total salary. IE: If you cut a guy who is making 10 million dollars and is signed through 2005, 20 million dollars will be added to your payroll for this season.

[stocker323]

What is the penalty for being over the salary cap?

[Bonds*]

What is the penalty for being over the salary cap?
If you&#39;re currently over your budget, the only real &#39;penalty&#39; is not being able to increase your payroll. Meaning any trade you make has to be around the same money changing hands, OR less money coming to you.

If you&#39;re currently under your budget, you just won&#39;t be allowed to go over it.

[I LOVE WOMENS VOLLEYBALL]

thank you bonds... two more questions tho, whens the first sim and how do contract extentions work? thx

[Bonds*]

Players will start asking for extensions after May 1st, I believe, and there will be a thread when the time comes :)

The first sim is Wednesday, trades due by Tuesday.

[HostileX1]

Do the trades like at NYM (noahs site and tdurdens league) ...it is much better..my trade was e-mailed a day ago and still not posted

[Bonds*]

That is the last league I would try to emulate.

...it is much better..my trade was e-mailed a day ago and still not posted
All trades go into the trade council for ~12 hours from the time the email is read. There will be another batch posted at 5 PM.

[HostileX1]

Is there a special thread that only trade council members see??? cause if not its ridiculous

[Bonds*]

There&#39;s an entire forum that you guys can&#39;t see..

[stocker323]

I see that the date on the top of the Sim page says April 29th. Does this mean we are skipping the first month of the season?

Nope, just a weird glitch that is having our season start in May.

[Gertie]

No way to reset that?

[Bonds*]

I think I could change it back if I got my hands on an old halofan update. Let me see what I can do.

[Bonds*]

Alright, it looks like the date on the homepage is always going to be about a month ahead of where we should be.

- We could sim an entire month the first sim and see if its fixed.
- Otherwise it should correct itself in the off-season (after the world series it always jumps to 12/15).

[Yankeesin05]

when&#39;s the next sim?

[element1151]

I belive it is today.

[ang2124]

ya the monthyl simm is tonight guys
:rolleyes:

[CrespoBlows]

My trade has not gone through yet, it was a Kent and Stark for Burhle and Scutaro.

[elsrbueno]

I Also have a trade with Oakland that didn&#39;t go through.

Oakland gets:
Charles Johnson, Mike Cameron, Rick Reed, and Kevin Appier

San Diego gets:
Jimmy Gobble, Kurt Ainsworth, Ben Howard, Corey Patterson

[RedSox24]

Mine Hasnt either, with texas

[Bonds*]

Were they in by the deadline?

As for the Kent/Buehrle trade, it was hung up in the trade council because you had PMed me and asked me to veto it.

The Gobble trade I&#39;ve never seen.

[RedSox24]

yes our brewers/texas trade was in at least 2 days before the deadline

[I LOVE WOMENS VOLLEYBALL]

when was the deadline??? was the cle-kc deal with beliard and jennings in time?

[Bonds*]

send it again and I&#39;ll get it in.

I did everything in 30 seconds. I&#39;ve just been holding back from everybody for no reason.

[CrespoBlows]

when&#39;s it going to be ready?

[RedSox24]

why do you put the trades on the completed ones if they are not going to work, when you are "approving" a trade it shouldnt be approved and then vetoed later

Approved by the trade council, and then messed up in your budget.

This will be fixed in the future, because I will be putting them through in the game as I put them into completed.

[Bonds*]

Before you guys start, there are 2 Houston trades that are still in the trade council.

If you&#39;re refferring to the Kansas City deal, it was put through and then reversed.

The 10,000 promotions are from the first day when everybody was placed in AAA.

[CrespoBlows]

Are we ever going to do a sim?

[Bonds*]

Originally posted by Gertie@Nov 21 2004, 05:48 PM

I fixed the May 1st glitch, but not before trying a few other solutions that kind of screwed us up a bit more.

First I tried simming the March 30th games, but all that did was advance us another day (to May 2nd).

Then I tried clearing the schedule, so the schedule was completely wiped out and it generated another 162 game schedule...but unfortunately it did not wipe out the W-L records, so we might have an extra 2 or 3 games this season :lol:

Then I figured out there&#39;s an option to edit the current date :angry:

[ang2124]

hey every1 im sorry i dont know what im tlaking about completely diregard my last post

[youkilis rules]

simming without giving more than 24 hours notice after making big time changes is inexcusable. how can u veto a trade that entirely changes the setup of two teams and simm immediately after? frank thomas and adam kenendy in the minors while scrubs are starting? inexcusable? you say its my fault? no no anda resounding NO&#33; How was i supposed to know you wouldn&#39;t update my posted promotions and demotions? Completely unfair and a poor sense of judgement,

[ang2124]

also i have another thing and this one you should listen to lol - me and tampa&#39;s trade was never even showed - both of us emailed it and both sent it in at the correct timings im just wondering y it didnt even show up on transactions or even on the thread of completed trades so can u help me figure that out.


It involved me getting mike ryan and mike hampton and ramon ortiz and he gets maroth, rowand, and a spect so please i just wanna know if we like missed a deadline or somethin

Give me a break, you guys have known about this for a week. It would have went through this morning with even more problems if I hadn&#39;t let changes through today.

how can u veto a trade that entirely changes the setup of two teams and simm immediately after? frank thomas and adam kenendy in the minors while scrubs are starting? inexcusable? you say its my fault? no no anda resounding NO&#33;
It&#39;s my fault for counting on you guys to keep track of your own payrolls, but obviously that was an unrealistic expectation. This has been fixed, as in the future they will be going into the game as they go into the completed forum.

How was i supposed to know you wouldn&#39;t update my posted promotions and demotions? Completely unfair and a poor sense of judgement,
If you would have done everything right the first time we wouldn&#39;t have this problem.

[youkilis rules]

I did do everything right. I&#39;m sorry you never EVER told ANYONE in the league about the real rules involving cash and its effect on the new salary cap. You also never EVER told anyone that if a trade was vetoed you would be too lazy to do promotions and demotions. Seems to me I did nothing wrong within reason at all.

I don&#39;t follow what you mean. We played ~4 or so games each, then the schedule had to be reset from April 1st (we might be playing 166 games this season). Does that answer your question/complaing/statement?

[element1151]

No, what i mean is that i wish that Past Boxscores and Upcoming Schedule would include more games, like one month ahead and behind, but i don&#39;t think that is anything that you can change.

Oh, okay. I think there&#39;s a way to mess with that, but it sucks up a looot of space. I can put it up to 14 when we start getting a normal sim schedule. Then you&#39;ll be able to view all your games.

[element1151]

Thanks

[ang2124]

ughh ya how am i supposed to send in my lineups when 2 of my trades are still going through review - i cant make a lineup until i know if jennings and klesko are on my team so just tell me what to do here

[Bonds*]

Alright, I think I&#39;ve had enough of the complaining about the trade system. E-mail just isn&#39;t working, and Private Messages would only be sent to one user. Please check out the guidelines thread for the new method of posting trades.

[metsin07]

I cant find out when the next sim is does anybody know?

[Yankeesin05]

I heard you simmed it, when are you going to upload it?

[CrespoBlows]

[Soxfan#1]

On the league site it says im 26-32. On the oak homepage it says im 18-26
