Since we have a larger amount of new GMS than usual, I wanted to take a moment to give a full breakdown of the Off-Season schedule and explain each period in full. Please let me know if you have any questions:
Period 1: Staff Free Agency
- This is the period of the off-season where you will fill any coaching vacancies your team may have. It is broken into two separate sims with the first being for signing a Head Coach and a Scout while the second sim is for filling your three assistant coach slots.
Period 2: Rookie Draft
- This period of the off-season is for the opening of the Rookie Draft board and the Live Rookie Draft sim. The opening of the draft board oftentimes will overlap with the start of Staff Free Agency allowing GMs to make selections at their convenience however this year we have pushed this back slightly until after Staff Free Agency Sim 1. Also included in this period is the Live Rookie Draft which is a live sim that allows us to complete any selections that haven’t been made to that point. All first round selections will be made on a 5 minute timer while all second round selections will be made on a 2 minute timer.
Period 3: Player Free Agency
- This period of the off-season is for making offers on any of the players that decided to test free agency this year. Much like Staff Free Agency this period is two sims in length as the first sim will cover the initial 6 days of Free Agency while the second sim will cover the final 24 days of Free Agency.
Period 4: Training Camp & Preseason
- While maybe not technically a part of the “off-season” I decided to include it anyway as it is obviously different than your traditional sim. This period is where your players will be assigned points into six different categories (Inside, Shooting, Handling, Post Defense, Perimeter Defense, and Conditioning) in hopes of improving their skill set. This is also where your team will play anywhere from 5 to 8 injury-free exhibition games with a depth chart/gameplan assigned by you.
