Newest file uploaded, reports are extracting now, Statslab is uploading/updating now.

Please 'Check for updated file' in your game again if you haven't already prepped for the Opening Day sim for Monday morning at 6am CT. This sim is slightly longer to get us on schedule (April 8th-20th).

Thanks for your understanding guys!

Website.. battling weird, random website 503 errors or very slow load times --> working on it

Statslab is currently broken --> not sure if its an easy fix or if I have to rebuild

File/reports and newest Images Pack are updated as of 11:30p CT 7/26

Thanks guys!

Statslab --> fixed
Website --> still periods of slow loading time and occasional 503 errors, still looking into it.

Thanks for the patience guys.

Alright guys... I just finished chatting with tech support for Dreamhost. The issue was with them. The technician rebooted "our server" (believe Dreamhost has servers with everyone's data scattered over many) which resolved our domain load times. He told him that "it looked like it [our domain, afblbaseball.com] needed to be rebooted possibly due to a hung process."

I apologize about the slow over the weekend but we should be good to go for our 2nd season -- 2014!

Opening Day sim is tomorrow (Monday) morning at 6am CT.

Also, our new rule change about claiming/signing FAs goes into effect starting tomorrow. During the regular season and postseason, teams are allowed to claim 2 FAs per 24-hour window, the rule goes to our original 1 FA per 24 hours during the offseaon.

Thanks guys!

Thanks for all the technical work. I'm excited for some 2014 baseball- my team may even play .500 ball, if the predictions are to be believed....

Don't believe these predictions, they have my SP prospect Jenkins going 21-12 and last season's PL Triple Crown winner, Sepulveda not even on the top pitchers list.

I think with Jenkins because he was used as both a starter and a reliever during ST the game engine has gone whacky and thinks he'll see the same profile of appearances in 2014... lol

The predictions in game are also last season's predictions, they don't update until after opening day (I think) or until matt runs them manually depending on what his settings are set at.

I believe the Season Predictions get generated at the beginning of ST and again right after ST. That is what has happened in our 2 seasons.

Can't be right matt, look at the ones in game... Soto (pitcher in the PL) is marked as at NJ, when' he's been at Ohio since I traded him there part way through 2013.

The ones in the online reports are new and based off rosters that people set for ST. The ones in game just haven't updated yet, but after/during this sim I believe they will.

Strange about Soto, not sure what's going on there. I wonder how accurate the predictions are to begin with heh?

File/reports are up from the Opening Day sim (April 8-20). Statslab will be updated shortly.

All of the FA signings happened at the end of the sim since I realized I hadn't done them before uploading the sim results. Sorry guys my head is in about 4 different locations .

[mstreeter06]

Statslab has been updated.

I believe they are dynamic during ST, based on whomever you have in your rotation and lineup at any given time, and then lock in for the rest of the season come opening day.
