Wondering if it’d be possible on the back end to extend the deadline for users to schedule non conference til start of RS2?

Its always a bummer when I pick up a new team and the first season I can’t schedule my friends. Not a huge deal, but a small change that I think would make the game a bit more fun. What do others think?

The later, the better for me. I like to know how my recruiting class is going to look, as well as how my opponent's teams are going to look next season. Extending it to the end of RS2 would be fantastic.

I would still forget to schedule sometimes, though maybe a little less often.

Related, it would be really fun if we were able to schedule more exhibitions, especially during the break. Maybe add 6 postseason exhibition slots (that come without any IQ or attribute development growth, of course) and folks could start running their own mini tournaments. Or just mess around and try more things. Alternately, we could be given the ability to schedule exhibitions anytime against anyone in any world, as with the soccer sim. That would be really interesting.

I always thought it would be cool if there were 90 or so standard 4-team exhibition tournaments at the beginning of each season. The top 4 RPI teams from last season are automatically entered into an exhibition tournament. Then 5-8 are in another tournament and so on, so that all teams are included.

Format could be round robin with a championship game. You could even name them although with that many different tournaments, it might be difficult. Maybe name them after the top-90 users of all-time?
