As such even with the new round added in this season the season is still on track to end Saturday, which is what my prediction states at the beginning of the season. Assuming the Finals Game one is simed tonight. I also know that during my time as Assistant to the regional manager Updating Head. Myself and @Dude have made many tasks easier for all those involved. Things from weekly updating the sim file, the Simmer used to have manually input each number week to week, now they download a couple .CSV files and rosters are set and so are updates. Same is said for new player creation in the offseason and regular season, the Simmer doesn’t need to create all these new players. Myself and, formerly @Dude, now @GCool take care of all that work. Our Updating team is essentially responsible for this work. I have also taken almost all of the work out of Regression for @Eggy216, all he does is copy from a file I created. He no longer needs to go through team by team, player by player, and calculate and write up the reggression post. The new system isn’t 100% accurate yet, but the entirety of a weekend that has been freed up for the commissioner allows him and HO to keep moving on Offseason tasks. With these smallish things being done we have streamlined some parts of the league that allow HO to compensate for a lost couple days of the offseason. Basically what I’m saying is that the offseason really shouldn’t be affected by an additional couple days of playoffs.

Everyone wants to play in the playoffs, but then don’t want to wait when their team is eliminated. You get don’t get to have you cake and eat it too.

This was a well-reasoned and very informative post showing some of the gains we have made and the research done that was worthy of applause until the snide comment at the end, but I appreciate it all the same.

Seems like wanting an explanation without snide comments is, again, wanting your cake and eating it too. Do you even know what an idiom is?
