SBA Season 4 is open!!  All current roster team sheets have been posted.  Please keep in mind that we are in the off-season so the players on are vacation.  You may talk to your coaches about your team and preparations for the upcoming draft.  The S4 draft class will most likely be posted tonight, if not in the morning.  More to come on that. 

Let's have some fun!!

[GM Justin]

Teams will be given 5 free rookie and free agent scouting reports each.  All others must be paid for with PR.

[GM Justin]

You can begin your rookie scouting now.  As mentioned above, you get 5 free ones.  Anything over that will come out of your current PR budget.  Because I am super duper nice, the scouting counts against this offseason's PR budget (end of Season 3) and will not count towards your S4 budget.  As always, anytime you are spending money you need to put it in the league thread.

[GM Justin]

I hope to have the list of free agents out tonight.

[GM Justin]

I would like to have all rookie scouting reports submitted to me by this Sunday, August 5th.  My plan is to have the draft start on either Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.

You can continue to submit free agent scouting.

[GM Justin]

If you are waiting on anything free agency related shoot me a PM to let me know.  I think I got everything updated and responded to outstanding messages.

[GM Justin]

Hey guys, I'm in the process of working on the team sheets, however I've encountered an issue with the sim when I try and import files.  I have contacted you and will let them know when everything is resolved.

[GM Justin]

Alright fellas, I should have some more team sheets up this weekend.  My hope is to finish them all, but if all else fails, some more will be done.

[GM Justin]

FINALLY!!! All team sheets have been posted and all threads are unlocked.  I know there are a couple of team sheets that do not include agents on them so I will work to get them fixed over the next couple of days.  You are free to interact and conduct business as you see fit.  I am still working on all player pictures so the majority of the responses for now will not include a picture.  Also, I am currently working on piecing the schedule together, unfortunately it is not as simple as it should be.  I look to get that posted in the next day or two.

With that being said, LET'S DO THIS!!!

[GM Justin]

Just wanted to give you an update and let you guys know that I'm STILL working on the schedule.  No idea how, but the sim has teams playing an uneven number of games.  Trying to get it rectified.  Hopefully will have it figured out within the next week.

[GM Justin]

FINALLY!!!!! I have figured out the issues with the schedule and it is posted in the ESPN News thread.  We are ready to get the season going!!

[GM Justin]

As mentioned previously (because I followed the schedule exactly in the sim) there will be weeks where your team might not have a game at all and then there will be weeks where your team could play 4 games.  Just keep that in mind.

[GM Justin]

Week 1 results are posted.  Don't pay attention to the team graphics, I am working on uploading them into the sim.  Also, don't mind the arena locations, as I need to update them as well.  Week 2 will be coming if not tonight, then tomorrow morning and threads will be unlocked.

[GM Justin]

FYI - Unfortunately, players get sick/hurt during practice/in between games.  There is no way for me to cut it off unless I cut injuries off altogether which in my mind takes away from the game.
