Live Update & Rookie Draft

strzepeksc · 04-10-2019, 12:34 PM

Does the live update feature only update ratings based upon real life stats during the 2019 season or does it also update players in the rookie draft pool based upon the selections made in the June draft as in real life ? Or will updates on drafted players only occur after the rookie draft and once they begin play in the rookie leagues and start establishing stats ??

Honestly, I have no idea how the rookie draft will play out. Since this is the first year we're doing this, we just have to wait and see how the data comes from our provider.

Of course, that is only for new games. The live update for games in progress, as we've mentioned, will only update player ratings and does not handle any transactions.

To clarify the proper procedure for an online league:

I go to:
1) game settings
2) League settings
3) Popular Functions...……...and click on "Update Player Ratings Using Live Stats"

I plan to do this once a month in real calendar time: such as April 30, June 30, etc
Of course, if I am simming 3 times a week with 7 day sims there will be a lag, and the updates will only be available until the real 2019 season ends, and the online league will end the 2019 season much sooner!

Am I thinking this out correctly as to it's use ?
