Right now the start off-season and the end of pre-season is 18 to 20 days, this is longer if your team/players do not make the playoffs.

I am going to take everything from rollover,

Day 40-Day 41, Teams are sold back

Day 41- Signing freeze (the boring-est day of GLB) Team Movements, Fixing any team sale issue, There is no reason why you have to wait until rollover to do anything, Players really can't do anything team wise, so move the teams and restructure leagues Day 41 all day, don't wait until rollover.


Day 42- Fix any team movement issues, teams can be moved at anytime, not just at rollover. Team Sales, let people buy teams and sign players the same day agents that already have teams can. Also, you can get a better idea how many human/cpu teams will be in a league.

Day 43- Fixing any agent issues

Day 44[/b]- Last day of Offseason

Day -4 first pre-season game (even day)
Day -3 first pre-season game (odd day)
Day -2 second pre-season game (even day)
Day -1 second pre-season game (odd day)
Day 0- End of pre-season

Cut out two pre-season games, since we have the scrim on demand, where you can get 8 games a day (even increase that to 10, if you want) you can lose two pre-season games. I feel most owners ignore these now anyway, and care more about the quick scrims, TP's would have to be doubled or worked out so there is no to minimal loss of training.

This would keep people on and interested, knowing they don't have a month to sign with teams, also, most agents already have teams lined up for the next season and vise verse.

That would shorten off-season/pre-season from 20 days to 10, keeping players active and interested, since there won't be close to a month before the season starts.

Pretty sure I covered everything, there really isn't much stuff going on now, since we are out of "beta" and Bort won't be adding any new stuff, so now would be the opportunity to shorten it.

You shouldn't wait that long to be recruiting. Still plenty of time to recruit with this new set up as well.

+1 to the OP

Offseason/preseason waaaaayyyyyyy to long!!!!

True, I have recruited multiple teams in less than a day, and like I said, most teams already have players lined up.

I actually kinda like the longer offseason.

HOWEVER... let me also say that this wouldn't exactly be a deal-breaker for me either.

So, I guess... a -0.2 from me?

What part of doing nothing for weeks do you enjoy?

Off season is very boring for those of us who are left around here.

Not that anyone is going to care.

If they did not care when all the agents left they really are not going to care what we think of the off season.

Which is why i waited and almost didn't post the suggestion, but i could not do alot of things because people might not care. Before we were in Beta so that was his excuse, and a justified one at that, since we are out of Beta there is no reason to have a 20 day downtime between seasons.

The breather. Some time off from doing AI's, depth charts, recruiting, finances, and the wife who wants to know WHY I SPEND SO DAMN MUCH TIME HERE!

It shouldn't take you 20 days to update an AI, i think far too many people use that as a crutch excuse.
