Question: Free Agent Utility

Post by Go Stingrays »

Hi. Long time since I was on here. Just a quick question I wondered if someone could answer. Is it possible use the free agent utility on TBL database, it seems the free agent utility always updates the default database and Im not sure but I dont think you can have the TBL database without the default db (ie overwrite it?)

It's an editing tool that is available (I think) on Eastside's site. It sets all players to UFA status. It's great if you are playing for a big-draw, big-market team (DET, TOR, MON, etc.) but awful for smaller-market or newer teams as it's very difficult to get Top Shelf UFAs to sign. I've only played with it enought to form the preceding opinion, never ran through a full season using it. Personally, I prefer fantasy drafts, they are more fun and take far less time to get a team together.

Old topic but I think it's ok to post here:
If somebody still wants to update this program, could he make non-players also free agents.

Thanks!
