All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

If you didn't know that about Owens, it's your own fault. Everyone else did, which is why they didn't want him.
Exactly. That's why I stayed away from him and a bunch of other players. Just like I'll definitely stay away from the players who were suspended for 4 games this season or ones like Odell Thurman who was suspended for the year.
there is very little if any competitive advantage to owning the game and even if there was, this game is so unpredictable that no matter what you do you can still lose when you think you are going to win.
as stated above this year I made no week to week adjustments as i had last year to avoid any suspicion of mis propriety or inside info since I was the one actually simming the games.
your comments as I said was just the straw that borke the camels back and my comments where not diercted to just you but to anyone who shared the opinion that has been snided around here a few times
either way it neither here or there at this point good luck to everyone in the future
I apologize if I offended you, Playa. I was by no means serious when I brought that up. I was just trying stir the pot going into the playoffs since it was like a cemetery around here. The situation was just so blatantly obvious, I wanted to make some fun of it. Nobody on a message board or anywhere else, for that matter, has a right to judge.
I took my butt whippin like a man and didn't say a single word after the matter. It looked like a damn good game until you scored 17 points in the fourth. I still haven't figured out how you tweaked the scoring in that last quarter but I'm working on it.

BUMP for Playa. Don't leave, people were just messing around with you. It's all good.
I can see why some people would make them charges. Not saying you did but I can see where people would be coming from.
I'm sure we've all owned Madden games where we had 90+ rated players throughout the entire starting lineup and also pretty good backups behind them. No matter how great our teams were it was pretty hard to go all season long dominating every game or not suffering any major injuries when you just simulated the games.
The only beef I had is there were many of us that repeatedly asked for an updated and correct FA list at the begining of the season and during the season but we never received one. There were only a couple people who did and they just happened to be the ones that were able to pick up some of the unknown players that had breakout years.
We asked before and Eb told us it wouldn't be very difficult and it wouldn't take very long and he would have somebody post the list to our message board but it never happened. Even after many attempts of asking for one we never received one.
That is one advantage of being the people who have the rosters set on their game. They had all the updated FA list every week they could examine whenever they wanted too and add the players who were having breakout years.
Whether you did or didn't it doesn't mean anything to me. My team wasn't winning the championship this year with the state of my OL and LB's. If it was the case then it doesn't make it right either. In a year or two I will be right up there after my decent draft and I will also have about 6 high draft picks this year and a lot of money.
Like I said my only complaint was that we NEVER got an updated FA or roster list even though many of us pleaded for one. For the few who did have them it gave them an advantage with picking up FA's and also looking at their opponents team and being able to make adjustments to defend who they were playing.
all this being said... I do like the way playa ran the league this year. Reading the results every week was easy to do and he did put a lot of statistical info at our finger tips.
And I would like to mention as well that Playa was preventing any of us from owning the game he was the first to post the link and actually encourage people to buy it. That being said having the game gives you and edge, so if you want it its for sale. I dont know where though.... playa has the link.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
I emailed R. Rich all the rosters and FA info before the season started, it was my understanding he was in charge of distributing the list, if you ever wanted to pick up a player all you ever had to do was submit a PM to me and request that player be signed I would check the datdbase and then approve or disapprove each transaction within a few days.
My time is very limited these days and was during the season so I did what i could with simming and posting results and updating teams rosters and philosphies on a week to week basis, as stated before I was never aware it was my part of the job to post FA list I forwarded them and thought everyone had one

He's right, folks. You can blame me and my inability to get the sim game software back onto my computer for a lot of the problems. Playa did what he could.
Rich not playing blame game, anyone could have sent me a PM saying I want to pick up this FA , then I would review the list before I simmed the weeks games and told them yes or no on their waiver request based on the availibilty of the player, Saburz and Dr Forbes picked up several FA's throughout the year and last time I checked they werent one of the league commisioners.
If someone didnt take the time to type a PM to me and request a player because they where waiting for a list then thats their own fault and loss
I'm so glad I kept checking that list and realized that Jerricho Cotchery was available. That pickup worked out for me big time. Especially when McCareins and Deion Branch didn't do ****.
ummm, i don't know why u didn't get it...but i still have the email in my account. Ebenezer and Rich sent the updated rosters and a FA list on August 23, 2006. That should have been pretty well updated. And then u just maintain it yourself by watching the transaction thread.
