Two questions here for those who play.

1) Is there enough people who play here where we could possibly get an online franchise going?

2) In Diamond Dynasty, I created a player who is listed as a SP. I add him to my rotation on the "My Squad" screen, but when I go to play a game, he is replaced in the rotation and moved to the LR spot in the bullpen. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong or if it is just a bug possibly?

I honestly tried contacting their support team which seem useless so hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about.
i would be up for an online franchise

as far as your second question, i would imagine its because he's not good enough yet to be in the top 5 of the rotation so he is being used as a long reliever since he's 6th on the totem pole. Similar to how Ivan Nova was being used with the Yankees earlier in the year
Thank you

I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully some more people chime in so we can get something going. Even just 6-8 people would be fine.
How is an online franchise run?

I'm interested but are you basically the GM and the games are simulated or do you play a full 162 game season? How do you coordinate playing each other online?
Haven't actually done one yet

but I know we can set up how long we want the season, playoff structure, etc.

I know you can send invites right from the schedule and pretty sure you can skip games against CPU but not 100% on that. If we get enough, we can have an ongoing discussion thread

...You play the games, not simulated unless they are never played.

- You can set the format to divisions or round robin.

- Round robin is the way to go with a small group - you can set the season length by deciding how many times each team plays eachother, and the series length. I did one with 12 teams, each team playing eachother in a 3 game series, so it's a 33 game season.

- You can set the schedule to "Open," where all games are available to play, or you can set it so only part of the schedule is open, say 2 series' at a time, and you set a deadline to advance.

- As far as scheduling, I use an app called GroupMe for the league.

Hope this helps.
I'm in,

Round Robin sounds good to me.
Okay well

NYDeuce? (You in?)

Even if we could get 2 more, it might be fun.

Gotta be more people who play here!
Possibly

...how long would a season be?
I'm down for a short season or whatever works  
kelsto811 : 6/1/2016 8:04 am : link
But 4 really wouldn't be worth it
8 would be the minimum  
NYdeuce : 6/1/2016 10:15 am : link
that would make it worthwhile I think.

...I have 1 opening in my league if you're interested. We use Groupme app for communication. Need someone who can play at least 4 games a week. My email is in my profile.
such a great game

and i've played a full franchise season every year until this one. I'm thinking i'm going to be too busy this year to get a whole season in.
