Brad, or anyone have time to get all of Francis' answers here on one page? Would be great that way people don't ask the same questions over and over again, and doesn't force us to go through dozens of pages. I would do it myself, but don't have the time now unfortunately.

If people do their own custom leagues then they could have a league in the USA and league in Canada, I guess that is what they mean

I think that part of it is that drug/sex abuse/ whatever else suspensions aren't very gmail friendly.

Will the draft include compensatory selections (the ones at the end of the 3rd-7th rounds)?

Which version do you think you would add the ability to trade draft picks?

I'm almost certain trading draft picks will be in v1. That is an integral part of NFL strategy.

I would like to know the answer to my above question about compensation picks, though.

Can Custom Leagues have a different number of teams per Conference. Example-14 USA Conference and 8 Canadian Conference?

natedawgdude3 · 11-14-2014, 06:45 PM

Earlier in the thread Mr. Cole said that draft pick trades wouldn't be available in V1 but I might be mistaken.

That's odd, because in the NFL trades are pretty much player-for-draft picks, rarely are there any player-for-player trades.

Francis Cole · 11-16-2014, 09:08 AM

I can't remember what I said before, the intention is for picks to be traded, as mentioned above, picks being traded may even be more fleshed out than player for player trades, which are not as common as mentioned,

You can have 1 league with 2 conference of different sizes, however you can't have 1 conference where teams are from a different nation compared to the other nation.

I have many Canadian teams in my various OOTP 15 Leagues and I edit the cities so they are USA based. Example-Calgary Cowboys(Salt Lake City,UT). I do this so that the deck isn't stacked against Canadian teams as far as supplying them with Canadian players. Will this be an option in BTS? For instance-Toronto(NAFL) based in Syracuse,NY.

Francis Cole · 11-16-2014, 02:15 PM

You can set the city of a team, so you could have a team in your USA league which is based in Toronto.

Everything they do though will be American based, i.e they will take part in the USA draft, they scout USA colleges etc. they won't get Canadian players suddenly.

i'm guessing that v1 will be a late 2016 release?

Any word on this? These are the picks you get for losing FA's. I just feel it would add another element to the realism if you lose the FA, you get a pick somewhere in the last four rounds. Thanks.

All we are saying currently is sometime in 2015.

Francis Cole · 11-17-2014, 04:15 AM

I certainly plan for RFA compensation to be in it, however in real life the RFA will almost be a non-issue in a few seasons due to the new CBA and rookie contracts being of a set 4 year (5 year for 1st rounders) length.
