how about starting sims at different times...

for different leagues. I work 2 shift and have to leave @ 2:00 so anything that happens after that i can't do anything about. I don't know if that has been suggested but i know i wouldn't pay for this game until that issue is addressed.

I have to agree. My only chance to get online is overnight. If I decide to pay to play, I would certainly want a league that played at times that I am online.

Other than that, I have no complaints. Great Game Clay!!!

Well, I'm playing from Australia where ther simulation times actually are good for me. A simulation at midnight in the US is early morning for me and unless I'm in a meeting I tell my staff not to bother me and I do my "baseball business".

I think it is a case though of load balancing during a testing period. It is very difficult to anticipate the amount of load on systems before you set them live. The simulation process I would imagine for so many leagues is probably quite heavy and therefore taxing on the hardware. The other thing to remember is, they need to do system backups as well. In the event of a hardware or software failure, they'd probably lose some of the transactions between games, but they wouldn't have to re-run simulations which would cause serious problems.

I'm sure it is something they will address, but during this early part of the beta process they will probably tell you it is low on the priority list right now.
