~ ANNOUNCEMENT ~

[bosoxlover12]

While the project is still definitely in the works, a new FBB league is in the process of creation. It will be ran by both myself and CameronCrazy06 in tandem. There will be 29 teams (because we are still using the FBB 2001 engine), and we will be starting in the year 2010-11 
 
A creation draft will take place once the roster is finalized. A sign-up thread for the league is here, and note not everybody is necessarily guaranteed a team. But this here is to gauge whether or not we will be able to fill the league.
 
This league will be ran in the way it was here back in the early 2010s, which might be different than what people from other leagues may expect. Sims will be every other day, 10 games at a time, with Days 110-120 split into two separate sims in itself to end the regular season. That way each season is not rushed, and each GM can put more time and focus into their roster.
 
Other rules and logistics will be posted as they come, but since it was such a topic of discussion as of late I figured to share the message with you all.

You should do 20 day sims. People are going to lose interest fast doing 10 days every other day especially with 110-120 being two sims lmao.

and people with busy lives cant keep up with fast paced sims

It's not even about being up late for the sims.
 
In the BS League and in the Retro League, seasons would last roughly 12 days from the start of the offseason to the end of the Finals. That's so quick through a year.
 
All of the SI vets here can vouch for the longer seasons; the league we had in the early 2010s was definitely the best league that I've been in

How is that fast paced

 

[bosoxlover12]

How is that fast paced

12 days for one entire season versus 24 days for the regular season is a sizable difference

How is that fast paced

im not referring to this. im referring to the other sims here as bosox mentioned. longer seasons give us overall longevity without needing to start doing retro drafts or made up drafts.

20 day sims every other day is about as normal paced as it gets.  That leads to a full season and offseason being completed in just over 3 weeks
 
Only way I would be in favor of 10 day sims is if theyre every day, and I think a lot of people would get tired of that.  There wouldn't be as much of a reason to attend sims anymore if theyre held too frequently, and it would give too many opportunities to earn money and over inflate half of the league's bank

Yall new to this.

We've always done 10 day sims here and it shouldn't change.
