After the sign up deadline for the players are done. When roughly will the auction take place? What platform will it take place on? Any details in general would be nice.
Player sign ups end on Friday night.I may need 2 days to pick managers, since I've gotten a bigger response than I expected(11 manager candidates atm). I will also simultaneously estimate player prices. I will post details on the auction in my next post(maybe tomorrow).
When will the players cost be announced before the auction?
Player prices will be announced 1-2 days before the auction. Since this is a very important phase, we need some time to arrive at reasonable estimates for all players. Prospective managers are encouraged to start estimating the worth of all players in the player pool by themselves. Hopefully, their estimates shouldn't differ too much from the base prices set by the league.
Can you redeem a players contract after 2 seasons?
This is not decided yet. I'm leaning towards allowing the owning club some sort of "first option" to retain it's player. But I want to think things through before I answer. Since this scenario is at least 4-6 months away(2 seasons), I feel like I have some time. There are more pressing issues to address at the moment ;)
Negotiation: Does every deal need to be authorized by you and confirmed?
More on this in my next post...
Are these economy settings experimental? To avoid huge financial imbalance
We have thought a lot over these economy settings and gone over many "What if" scenarios. There is always a chance that these settings may lead to an unstable economy. But I am hoping our projections hold true, and this is successful. If not, we will make small tweaks to correct the economy without clubs being affected severely.
Templates: Do the managers vote or do the league commissioners predetermine this?
All templates for Season 1 shall be decided by the league owners. This may be subject to change in the future.
I think the cost of a player will be determined by bidding on that player? That is what has been done in the past I believe....
Please do not refer to leagues in the past to make assumptions in this one :). See my next post for more clarification...
Do you think that maybe you could stream the online players draft? I think it would be cool for players to be able to watch it or at least have something to look at later for it.... idk just a thought.
I have been told by a lot of people that they may not be able to attend a RT auction. I have a non RT auction being planned at the moment. Once I've ironed out all the details, I will update the thread. We can have a stream once the auction is done, to go over all the players bought and the prices they went for. We can also disclose the 2nd highest bid(but hide the identity of the club).
also,can players choose their own base price?
this way managers or any other committee don't have to decide who's worth what.they'll just start from the base prize during the auction and if no one thinks the player's worth it,no one'll buy him
No. Base prices will be determined by the league. We've thought through some scenarios where any other entity setting a base price(or a lack of base price altogether) can be exploited.
