You got it fatboydad54.  I'm going to start putting teams together to see what they look like on paper!

I want in. I've played WIS basketball for a few year. This will be my first team in another sport. I feel like I am capable of putting together a quality team. I have a question. How are partial seasons treated? For example, if a WR plays 8 out of 16 games in RL, should I expect him to play 8 games in the SIM or is it like basketball, and he'll play 16 games, but his per game averages will be cut in half.? I still need to research the WIS and the RL stae databases, but I already have an idea of who I might take. .

I'll take Louisiana

The SIM will prorate stats for strike shortened seasons but true partial seasons will play out that way.

It is possible that he plays all 16(and he might hit his RL per game stats), BUT, the likelyhood of him getting hurt and missing a few games at a time is very high.
