I mean, I guess boxscores COULD be useful, but considering all the other information they give you, we have more than enough.  And that's a LOT of extra space to be uploading for you.

Do you have a decent internet connection?   Laughing

Ok, so it starts November 8th and ends March 31st

So 5 months total.

I would say do something like:
After Sim 1: Run November
Sim 4: December
Sim 7: January
Sim 10: February
Sim 12: March

Do you know how to output the draft file to give to me?

Oh god, nevermind, you can't do it.  Scratch that idea, for now at least.

If this is all feasible, I personally think it's a great idea.  Having more information available is always a good thing.

I can just send you the draft file to import on FBB.

If we can't work this out with Mavs, would it be possible to just partner with an FBCB league and have them give us a roster file?

it would just be difficult to find one going at EXACTLY the same pace we're going out.

I'm going to try to contact heavyreign and see if he's still active and the game can be purchased.

Perhaps this shows my misunderstanding of how FBCB is run, but can't we just get a season-ending roster file with accumulated season stats for the potential draftees?  All we want are year-end stats to combine with the ratings system, right?  Would the roster file not include those stats?

But then people wouldn't be able to scout these players during the season.

Using FBCB would require quite a bit more scouting.  And, one of the fun parts of it would be following players as the season goes along.  a guy might look like a top 5 pick at the beginning of the season (like taft in real life), then falter down the stretch.

I see.  Thanks.

While I agree that the scouting angle would provide more entertainment value, all I would be looking for are player statistics that would amplify the simple category ratings that FBB provides.

The scouting would be nice, but in terms of providing more input to make the draft more accessible, year-end stats are all I'd be looking for.  Of course, that's just my opinion.
