Small questions that don't deserve their own thread

[Brian Nichols]

Do retired players become coaches?

 

Not currently but that is a planned addition.

[Brian Nichols]

I am running a historical league and I was wondering what season TV revenue kicks in?

 

I just finished the 1957-58 season and I have yet to see any team get any money from TV.

 

It kicks in when the salary cap gets to 1 million so 1976.

[Brian Nichols]

As far as trade value...it will depend on who you are trading with. Bad teams generally won't value older players as much.

[ayato]

What about the traning camp?, Brain. And do ratings go up during the season? Thanx in advance.

[Brian Nichols]

Realistically you can probably manage training camp better than the computer. It isn't necessary but you would be getting some small gains.

 

Currently guys don't improve during the year.

Another question about coaches which probably sounds impossible, but wondering how possible.

 

I'm thinking of running a league where the college game runs alongside the pro game.

 

Will it ever be possible (or is it already?) to have a college coach want to coach in the pros? Or allow pro teams to offer college coaches a contract?

 

I'm not expecting something like this, just think it would be pretty awesome if there was a way. Not sure how it would be done. Maybe similar to exporting/importing draft classes for players? Though, if a coach isn't signed, it would be nice to have him return to the college ranks (or even have a pro coach consider college).

 

Like I said, probably too far out of an idea.

When do players end up in the hall of fame? Do they have to be retired for a set amount of years? I'm on year 11 and so far blank.

I believe they appear immediately after retirement. What player source did you use for the save?

[Carlos]

<p>I probably missed this:</p><p> </p><p>

Considering all things equal with offered contracts (years, dollars, etc.), how does a player determine his choice?</p>

[Brian Nichols]

If everything was 100% the same then there is a small random factor that would break the tie.

[Carlos]

<p>For Brian or anyone in the know:</p><p> </p><p>

As a commish, I should be expecting to zip up any necessary files and provide to participants after every sim, correct?</p><p> </p><p>

There is no in game export option or import league file for members?</p>

[Brian Nichols]

Yes. All you really need to do is zip up league.dat and post it somewhere that the GMs can download it. There is no in-game option for import/export of the save itself...only for the team instructions.

Why do some franchises have $150,000 midlevel exception and $116,000 low exception?</p>

[BHK1978]

<p>This is an odd question but I have just had the Chicago Zephyrs move to Baltimore to become the Bullets. The thing is when I look at the team history the new Bullets have the history of the original Bullets that went out of business in the 1950's, they no longer have their history in Chicago.</p><p> </p><p>

I was wondering if there was a way to have the new Bullets have the history of the Chicago Packers/Zephyrs instead of the original Baltimore Bullets. If there is not then I guess in my mind I will have to treat the Bullets like they were the Cleveland Browns of the NBA in that they retained the history of the old franchise instead of the Ravens.</p>

Sorry if this has been answered somewhere before but how does restricted free agency work in-game. I haven't come across anything yet and im not sure if it is because I just missed it or if its not in the game.

Another question; I am running a league and I have had two GMs tell me they have cut players only to have them turn up on their roster after the next sim. I have managed to successfully cut a player myself, I have received exports from both teams and I have imported their files before simming so I dont know whats going on. Can anyone help?

[Brian Nichols]

If you send me the save and the team files I'll walk through them step by step.
