halifax Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Omega chatted on aim for a bit. Thought I'd post the conversation here since he had questions that some of you may have. I edited the conversation a bit to get to the main points. Omega_red: (6:43:25 PM) i wanna join the dynasty league alsoOmega_red: (6:43:45 PM) we do a draft is that right?Halifax: (6:44:21 PM) no draftHalifax: (6:44:26 PM) you bid on playersHalifax: (6:44:40 PM) there's a salary cap (ceiling and floor) Omega_red: (6:44:45 PM) ah ok, but we still build team from scratch?Halifax: (6:44:58 PM) correct..build a team from scratch Omega_red: (6:45:11 PM) what we do with player like Forsberg?Omega_red: (6:45:14 PM) he is not in 93 Halifax: (6:45:27 PM) there will be (i hope) 6 seasonsHalifax: (6:45:36 PM) so Forsberg can't be bid on until a later season when he's in the game. Omega_red: (6:45:37 PM) do we draft player in between?Halifax: (6:45:45 PM) no drafting Omega_red: (6:45:50 PM) ok Halifax: (6:45:52 PM) each season there will be bidding Omega_red: (6:46:06 PM) it's like everyone is a free agent?Halifax: (6:46:10 PM) exactlyHalifax: (6:46:23 PM) and you are the gmHalifax: (6:46:39 PM) then when you have your team...you are the coach Omega_red: (6:46:32 PM) do we all bid at the same time? Halifax: (6:47:38 PM) yes Halifax: (6:46:51 PM) bidding will done on the forums (a separate forum so as not clutter this one)Halifax: (6:47:55 PM) ill open up the bidding for the highest rated players first...so there's not too much confusionHalifax: (6:48:19 PM) once they are done(or almost done)....ill do the next set of players....and so onOmega_red: (6:46:50 PM) we can also trade player?Halifax: (6:47:03 PM) yes...trading will take place once all the bidding is completedHalifax: (6:47:17 PM) ie... everyone has 6 forwards, 4 d, 2 G Omega_red: (6:48:02 PM) i would send a list like Lemieux 9M$ Roy 8M$ etc...Halifax: (6:49:02 PM) no list is required....there would a be a thread called "patrick roy"...and you would put your bid right on the forum (with the bid obviously being more than the previous coach bid) Omega_red: (6:49:36 PM) ok it's like an auction? Halifax: (6:49:39 PM) yup Omega_red: (6:48:58 PM) and you take the stats straight from the NHL95 96 97 etc.. ? Halifax: (6:49:25 PM) yes...stats from those games(as close as they can be since the engines/rating system were different in later games) Omega_red: (6:50:21 PM) so if i sign, lets say, Lindros now, he is gonna get the 99ov of later game?Halifax: (6:50:33 PM) that is correctHalifax: (6:50:40 PM) or close to it Omega_red: (6:50:43 PM) interesting Halifax: (6:51:00 PM) i will post an excel file of player ratingsHalifax: (6:51:17 PM) you will have about a week to do researchHalifax: (6:51:28 PM) so there shouldn't be any surprises when the bidding starts Omega_red: (6:53:19 PM) we play a season every how often?Halifax: (6:54:01 PM) It really depends on what everyone wants.

Seano7302 Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) Why can't I play? I have so much time on my hands, and in classic I got upto 10 games played in about 1 week in the 20 game league. I just don't know why I can't get on as a backup even.

halifax Posted November 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 some questions answered...conversation edit to get the main points. Death Asylum: (7:49:52 PM) Hal I have some questions about the dynasty league Halifax: (7:50:48 PM) fire away bud Death Asylum: (7:51:01 PM) yeah I'm confused as all hellDeath Asylum: (7:51:14 PM) do we pick for instance 6 forwards per year?Death Asylum: (7:51:24 PM) how do you know how much you're spending on the cap? Halifax: (7:51:46 PM) you have a cap of 100 million ceiling and 80 million floorHalifax: (7:51:56 PM) so when you bid on players you have to keep that budget in mindHalifax: (7:52:12 PM) knowing that bids increase by 1 million (like an auction) Death Asylum: (7:52:45 PM) each player starts at 1 mil? Halifax: (7:53:38 PM) well some of the better players I will preset to start at 5 millionHalifax: (7:53:54 PM) since i know mario, roy etc. will go for at least that much Death Asylum: (7:54:04 PM) so all star players basically? Halifax: (7:55:20 PM) well think of it this way....there's about 14 coaches I think...each coach needs 12 players on their team....so 150+ payers will be bid onHalifax: (7:55:29 PM) you only get the player if you win the bid Death Asylum: (7:55:49 PM) ok so we're picking 12 players who will be represented in each season?Death Asylum: (7:56:23 PM) 93-98? so I can pick, say, Brodeur and he'll play in 94? Halifax: (7:57:14 PM) brodeur isn't available until nhl'95 which will be the third season of the league...so he wouldn't be able to be bid on until the 3rd season Halifax: (7:57:44 PM) but for a guy like roy...hes in every season from 93-98....so you can bid on him and try and get him for a 6year contract Halifax: (7:57:50 PM) then hes yours for every season Death Asylum: (7:57:30 PM) oh ok so only picking players for the current seasonDeath Asylum: (7:57:48 PM) which is 94Halifax: (7:58:00 PM) the current season is 93 Halifax: (7:58:06 PM) since snes had a 93 nhl game Death Asylum: (7:59:25 PM) and bidding starts when?Halifax: (7:59:33 PM) bidding starts sunday Death Asylum: (8:01:04 PM) cool oh and the season is how many games?Halifax: (8:01:20 PM) 4 games vs every bud is probably what ill go with. Death Asylum: (8:00:01 PM) ok I think that's it for now anything else I should know? Halifax: (8:00:48 PM) bok has sexy underwear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfMANhalfDONUT Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 I've asked kero5hin/heatrash to co-manage/play my team. I'm going to be pretty busy in the upcoming weeks and neither of us has time to dedicate full-time to a team, but if we both play the same one, we will be fine. Any issues with this?

If possible, can only one do the bidding? I think it will create less confusion for others, myself included. but playing games...yeah I don't mind.

If it helps, we can make a new aim name that we share so that people only need to IM one person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halifax Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 some more info: Jonathan Enright: (9:52:53 AM) how does the bidding end?Jonathan Enright: (9:53:19 AM) or when Halifax: (9:53:50 AM) in each thread...i wait 24 hours from the last bidHalifax: (9:53:59 AM) then i close it and consider it won Superdude99: (9:53:58 AM) ya not like ebay Halifax: (9:54:07 AM) not like ebay Jonathan Enright: (9:54:42 AM) cool Halifax: (9:55:47 AM) the reason for 24 hours is that some people work...plus fank lives in new zealand and kashim is in europe....so it gives everyone a chance to make a second bid if their original gets out bid.Halifax: (9:56:14 AM) (or make a third bid, a 4th bid....and so on) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Kudelski Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 In another thread, it says the cap "resets" to $100 million each season. What does that mean? The cap floor and ceiling never change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halifax Posted November 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 In another thread, it says the cap "resets" to $100 million each season. What does that mean? The cap floor and ceiling never change? There are incentives to gain extra cap space....if you reach each games played deadline, you get an extra 5 million to spend for next years budget. but once you have your roster finalized and the league starts...your cap returns to 100 million and you work towards building cap space again. ex. you meet 5 deadline checkpoints in season one....your new cap is $125 million for season 2. Then you start playing season 2 (your cap resets to $100) and you try and achieve those deadlines again to build extra cap space for season 3. and so on.

Bob Kudelski Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 What happens with the team that is currently way over the $100 million cap? Some of his guys go back up for bidding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halifax Posted November 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 What happens with the team that is currently way over the $100 million cap? Some of his guys go back up for bidding? Yes. Player(s) will have to be dropped to get back under the cap and those players go back up for bidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
