8/21 Hoops Dynasty Topic

These changes were pushed to production yesterday.
  • Added Draft Date to the world schedule
  • Added rewards-race link (similar to how it is for SimLeague games)
  • Added offense/defense IQ to scouting report
  • Added natty titles to coach profile
  • Fixed a credit bug. It will now default to using expiring credits first.

Scouting IQ is a welcome addition, thank you.

Where is the scouting IQ? If it is where I am thinking of in the "Team Game Plan", their offense and defense have always been there? Correct?

Also, what is the rewards race link? Sounds interesting

When recruiting, when a player has been scouted to level 2, you can now see grades for all the offensive and defensive sets on their player card/page. Before this change, all we could see was the name of the offense and defense they knew best; no grades, and no indication of whether they had any skill with a different set.

Gotcha. Thanks!

You can now apply AP early so you’re not locked into same day recruiting, I believe.

That’s a great feature! Much better

Looks like it. Gridiron Dynasty has been set up that way for a long time. Mostly, I find it tedious except for the times when I'm traveling cross-country and appreciate the delay..

Seems like a change in the recruiting cycle timing is worth some sort of announcement or, you know, it's own line in the notes about updates.

Or maybe not a bug? There is no 5pm start the day before for RS2 - only RS1 now. If it is for one, RS1 is the more important as if you miss that one, the consequences are usually greater. I think it should be consistent, though. I have two starts tomorrow, one I put points in this evening for RS1 and one I have to wait until the morning for the RS2.
