Do you prefer Baseball Mogul Online leagues that simulate every day, or only on weekdays?

Both options are good. It would be cool to have both options when setting up a league.

I have the most free time on Saturday and Sunday, so i would really prefer everyday sim.

I think you should have 30 sim days/1 real day Monday thru Saturday . Leaving Sunday for adjusting teams+checking stats for some and day off for others. Also this is faster and more exciting than 10/1 weekdays, but slower than 60/1 everyday,where trade offers are missed and game doesn't develop fully.
You could acheive 30/1 in many ways including 5 sim days every 2 hours 6 times per day( 10:00,12:00,2:00,4:00,6:00,8:00)
Off-season sim times could remain same or double speeds.

I prefer to be able to play in a league which sims every day but I have a friend who would love to play but he could only play on weekends. He is a police officer and it is just not possible for him to play during the week. Is there any chance there will be a few weekend only leagues? I know you can't accomadate everyone but I figure there's no harm in asking.

I know that one thing cannot make everyone happy at the same time, but I want to have a league with really fast sims on Sunday maybe five games a half hour, regular fastsim simming on weekdays, and no simming on Saturday, my day of rest, ofcourse, most people's religions don't have a day of rest on Saturday, but it still has the general idea of simming really fast when you've got alot of spare time on the weekends, maybe you can adopt this policy for the complete weekend, but I'm still satisfied with regular fastsim, which, in my opinion, is generally right on target.

Actually the one i would prefer and i saw someone else post this somewhere was keep the 10 days/ 1 day until the trade deadline and then speed it up to maybe twice that until the playoffs as there isn't that much to do after the trade deadline....

I would like a weekday league which sims one game every five minutes for one hour; i.e. 6:00 AM - 7:00 AM CST.

Clay, would you please respond to this one?

Thanks.

I hope there are an option that let the commisioner to change the time and speed of the time in every different ways.

So, just be online to watch your games for an hour a day.

Interesting. Anyone else like this idea?

We are trying to keep the game 'chunks' big so that we don't overload the server. For example, we'd rather sim 10 games every 10 minutes than 1 game every minutes. But we could do try something like 1 game every 5 minutes...

There will be. But for the next few weeks there will probably only about 15-20 different setups.

I like the really quick sim idea (every 5 min for an hour a day). The only problem is that for those like me that suffer from Jimmy Williams disease and have to tinker with their lineup a lot 5 min might not be enough.
Can the computer handle it though? I seem to always wait about 4 min after each sim for the stats to be updated on the site. This would leave about 1 min for lineup/pitching staff changes...

Only about 15-20 different setups? Frankly, I'm amazed there'll be that many. Way to go, Clay! :D

The league I am in is a 10 game per day, 5 days a week league. Today was the first day after the trading deadline, and the league simmed 15 days. Is this new?
Clay Dreslough

Yep. Folks complained that the game moved too slowly after the trading deadline and was boring for those out of contention, so I decided to add 50% to the sim speed between August 1st and the end of the regular season.

I did this for other reasons too, such as to tweak things so that a Fast Sim season would take EXACTLY four days, instead of ending at some unpredictable tie.

Well 3 speed options times 3 timing options times 3 schedule options adds up to 27 pretty quickly, so there will be a decent number of choices.

And Ian's doing all the work so "Way to go Ian!". We are hoping this will all be up on Monday, including the ability for anyone to start a league, but it may slip a bit...

Well, Clay, you hired him - so ultimately, you're entitled to at least some of the praise!
