Warrior General Games

Wow, was not expecting my game to sim 15 minutes early. Nothing to complain about.

It is playoff time, however, so I guess I could have used common sense to realize that the server wasn't under so much pressure. Plus there are still games yet to sim. Anyway, GG Bort.

Always have your gameplan in an hour before or you are gambling with whenever your game randomly sims within that hour. This is old news.

I'm not complaining. I had my gameplan set, we won. Besides, I thought you couldn't change anything once the sim time was in an hour or less.

I've seen them as early as 45 minutes prior to game time, or a quarter after the hour, however it is you want to look at it. That was when I had a running team though, don't see anything earlier than 25 minutes after now with a passing team and that usually means I lost.

This. One hour before is the cutoff for me. Tbph like 90% of my games are completely simmed 30 minutes early (so can be watched on the league page, or your personal "today's games") page 30 minutes before. Since they have to actually sim for 15 minutes before becoming watchable, 45 minutes before gametime you will often be locked out of your depth chart and any AI changes will not be taken into account for that game.

Hour before you could be locked out. The first game starts to sim one hour prior to official time. Half (or at least some) of the rosters are locked at that point as well so nothing you can do there. You don't know whether you are going to be an early or late sim either. Just the breaks ya gotta run with.
