Hoping this comes to pass. Nice to have some kind of update. If this does happen it will be really good news.

thx for the update...If you could make the baseball work live again that'd be deeply $$$ appreciated.....it'd be well worth the wait....there's really nothing else like it on the net...

When will tigerpark be rightfully reinstated to his Michigan coaching job in Leahy? a number of jealous coaches banned together and jilted him from GD

Thank you for the solid update. Really loikinl forward to having a speak up link available to share our ideas. Chances are it will be flooded and opens the potential to eventually be of no help at all so I would interested in learning the vetting process of these ideas. Then again I could be wrong, once again. The game is a lot of fun and I personally know how much money I have invested over the past decade, so it is a big deal for me to see continued development. Thanks again.

Thank you Seble. Many of us here tolerated the years of "occupation" by a hostile power (Fox Sports) only out of love of the game. We have patience, knowing you are doing your best, and even just having someone running the place who cares about it is a step in the right direction. This update is very welcome news.

I'll add another vote for shortening the off-season

Its just dead time

If they brought back the test feature in GD that would fill in the dead time

Good news. Looking forward to this.

It's well past time for an update from me about what's going on around here. Let me start by apologizing for the lack of communication the past few months. I've been working hard on various technical challenges in transitioning the site from FOX to SportsHub. This phase has taken a little longer than expected, but it was a necessity to keep the site working.

As part of the final step in the technical transition, we'll need to shut down the site for at least part of a day on Tuesday March 27th. I'll be pushing back all games for that day, and the site will not be accessible for at least the first part of the day. If everything goes smoothly, we should be back up in the afternoon or evening. I apologize in advance for the inconvenience.

I want to highlight a few things coming up over the next few months and beyond.

1. As some of you know, I'm pretty much a one-man show running WIS right now. The good news is that's about to change. We're close to bringing on another person to work directly on the games. Growing our staff, even by only one person right now, is a great indicator that SportsHub is fully invested in the future of WhatIfSports. After years of neglect, I hope this creates some optimism about the direction of the site.

2. We're going to improve our customer support tools in an effort to lower response times and provide a more consistent experience. As part of that, we'll look for opportunities to provide league/world commissioners with more tools to handle issues without needing to contact us. An added bonus is that the less time we spend on customer support, the more time we have to work on the games.

3. We plan to create a new section of the site to allow anyone to submit suggestions for feedback. The WIS community will then vote those suggestions up or down, so that the most popular ideas will rise to the top. As we plan and prioritize updates, this will guide our decisions.

4. While all of this is going on, we'll also make small improvements to each game where it makes sense. We'll provide more details in the coming weeks and months.

Thank you for your continued patience, we greatly appreciate it!

Great! Just curious if this added person will be helping with updating the schools/divisions (example: Bryant is still in Division 2)?

Cheerio and glad good things are ahead.

Looks like Sportshub itself is in a state of complete flux. In the process of becoming.

Thanks for all you do Seble!

Keeping the lines of conmunication open with the coaching community would be a great start and help you prioritize areas to improve the game and user experience.

It’s a small thing but any chance we could ever see conference re-alignment in Gridiron Dynasty

I appreciate what you’re doing. You doubling the size of your team is awesome for us, particularly since it didn’t seem like much development, if any at all, was happening before you acquired the games.

On page 2, I explained some of the problems my teams are having with ridiculous, uncanny bad luck. Out of the six teams I currently have, one is almost finished with the season. They were in the play-offs until about 25 games until the end...terrible losing streak...done. Three of the teams got off to such a slow start, they can't catch up. All players well below natural stats for many games, which they lost, then...bam a one game winning streak where they scored and hit enough to catch up with their stats. The two winning teams... One has a winning % of .800 and is tied for first with the 3rd place team at a .600 clip. The other is in a league where all four teams in my division have a winning record. I have a .583 winning percentage and am in 3rd place. These things have gone on with my teams for the last year and so I am going to QUIT when my free teams expire. Before sim was bought out, I had enough free teams to last me until the Lord returns (so I thought) and most of my teams made the play-offs....now, with this terrible string of "bad luck" my free teams are about done. I am NOT making accusations, but it really is suspicious that tampering is occurring. Like I said, nobody is THAT unlucky and I have been extremely lucky all my life. There has to be something going on!

Up in April Down in May , All things Ave. out , or the tide has ebbs and flows , good luck with the rest of your life
