Beta Season?

Hi guys,

I've heard people say that this is the Beta season. I knew the game was new, but didn't know it was in beta. Does this mean that there will be a reset in the future or will the things we do now stick with us?

Cheers

Hey dude.

You probably heard that from me It's just a term we're using because people forget how new the game is, and many expect good suggestions to be implemented straight away.

I assume you will see quite a few additions in the second season, but I believe that the base of the game will stay the same

Some of us believe that a Special Teams unit will be in use for next season. Also, little things such as the Punter and Kicker will be more useful.

Hope this helps, and that you are not confused by my use of Beta

Guru.

Yep, it may well have been from you that I heard it

I appreciate that the game is ongoing, I was just checking that I wouldn't lose my squad when I've become attached in a few months (as has happened elsewhere). I can't wait to see the changes though.

Cheers for clearing that up

I don't believe that any of us will lose our squads - If so we will have to have a word with the Admin's

Thanks for your patience!

Guru.

Hey G, will there be any kind of draft before the start of the next season or (like the NFL) or will it remain the same of pulling youth players and bidding free agent.

Hey Steeler.

Unfortunately I am only a moderator, and not part of the Development Team

I am moderating the forums and answering questions, allowing them to spend more time to develop things for the game, to implement in the near future. Perhaps one of those is a Draft. Who's to know

Take care pal.

Guru.

EDIT: One thing I can tell you is: Look at the Construction tab. One of the four buildings you can construct is a Youth Academy. This should answer your question for the short term

Based on the fact that we have the youth pull and can build the youth academy, I'm going to guess that there isn't and won't be a draft. It would be hard to do anyway with the format the way it is, especially with promotion and relegation.

I'd say if we wanted a draft, we'd need NFL style leagues, otherwise it's up to us to build through our youth players and through the transfer market.

A draft would be a silly feature to implement in my opinion.
It's about have players en developing them on long term either to sell or to train and make your team better.
A draft would not really help long term planning / training
