Online CCM and the NFL Draft

[djl81790]

I have a bit of a noobish question. I'm running an online CCM with 2 of my friends (the only human players in the league) and we are at the NFL Draft stage of the off-season. My question is do we need to do the NFL Draft in one sitting all together online at the same time? Are we able to go on as we please and draft one pick at a time, or does the game not save/draft clock keep running?

Thanks.

Re: Online CCM and the NFL Draft

im currently in an online league as well. we havent made it to the off season yet, but if it's like the previous maddens, then you guys would all need to sit down at the same time to draft. im pretty sure they wouldnt have changed this.

My understanding (and from what I remember Josh Looman telling me), is that the draft system is a live draft only.

However, the commish can pause the draft at any time, and you guys can come back to it as need be. But you have to do the draft in-game in the draft system (which by the way, is really awesome this year. Trey Wingo's dialogue is excellent).

It's going to be hell when I organize my 32-team league's draft in about a month. We used to auto-draft players and drop them to free agency, then do a pen-and-paper draft that took a week or two. We're going to actually schedule a live draft this season. Should be fun!

What this guy said. We did our draft a few weeks ago and Trey Wingo's commentary is indeed nice. I wish there was more of it throughout the entire draft tho. To answer the OP's question tho, you all will have to be there.

Re: Online CCM and the NFL Draft

If I started a 1 man online CCM, played thru the season...started the draft....made my 1st 2 picks and then turned the box off I doubt that:

• My completed picks would be lost
• It would sim the remainder of the draft
• The draft timer would continue to run on the server even though I logged off

I don't see any reason this would be different for a 2 or 6 or 32 man draft. Now what we don't know is whether the commish has to do anything to restart the draft. Seems like 2 people could make a mock league, sim to draft, and figure this out in about 5 minutes.
