edit: that's not legible. Oh well, I tried.

[Noble One]

How recent is the database for season two?

[Spark]

Should include basically all FC cricket up to now. Cribb knows more though.

[Noble One]

Mick Lewis

1 Sachin Tendulkar
2 Peter Siddle
5 Luke Butterworth
13 Ryan McLaren

[Prince EWS]

How recent is the database for season two?

I'll put a stop on it after the draft is over.

[Johnners]

I'm assuming the database/players available are basically everyone that's currently active within FC cricket

[Prince EWS]

You can pick anyone you like actually, but retired players are obviously nerfed a bit to reflect how they'd probably go if they came out of retirement to play in a comp like this.

The task is basically to pretend it's a real-life competition, and assume you have unlimited funds and can therefore talk anyone in the world into playing. If you think the best option is picking someone who has been retired for 35 years to make a comeback then you can do that.. I don't recommend it though.

[Marcuss]

Wouldn't it make most sense to stop it as soon as the draft begins? That way we're all singing from the same hymn sheet?

I get agitated when the database is out of date, and the longer it's out of date while simming is still going and the bigger the difference between the updated version and the version people are using, the more annoyed I get. Updating it mid-season all the time would be unrealistic but to make the competition as realistic as possible, I think the database should at least be up to date when the season starts.

While it probably makes a minimal difference, I agree with Marcuss.

[Howe_zat]

Yeah, I think fair is more important than realistic.
