Subject to Change of course, with plenty of notice:
Here's how I plan to SIM the off-season.
This will speed things up (at the beginning and end) ever so slightly, but the most important parts (negotiating free agents) will remain.
Friday, December 29th - Off-Season #3 - 20 Days (This will take us through ARB and the start of FREE AGENCY to Winter Meetings)
- PLEASE do not set your game to automatically sign Free Agents as a courtesy to others (PLUS you may not like the contract offered and signed)
- PLEASE start to protect Rule 5 eligible players too
Saturday, December 30th - Off-Season #4 - 5 Days (to date of RULE 5 - Last Chance to protect players)
** NO SIM - New Years Eve! **
Monday, January 1st - Off-Season #5 - 7 Days (To Dec 29th - This is the start of the crucial signing of free agents IMHO)
Tuesday, January 2nd - Off-Season #6 - 7 Days (To Jan 5)
Wednesday, January 3rd - Off-Season #7 - 7 Days (To Jan 12)
Thursday, January 4th - Off-Season #8 - 7 Days (To Jan 19)
Friday, January 5th - Off-Season #9 - 7 Days (To Jan 26)
Saturday, January 6th - Off-Season #10 - 7 Days (To Feb 2 - This will take us just into the pre-season)
Sunday, January 7th - Off-Season #11 - 15 Days (To Feb 17)
Monday, January 8th - Off-Season #12 - (to Start of Spring Training in the game)
* Spring Training will be done in TWO SIMS
