The Pre-Draft Phase
The Pre-Draft Phase of the game lasts four days. During this time, you can view
the Draft Order, scout players, create your own Draft Plan and make trades. The
Draft Order page displays just that.the order in which you and the 31 other
teams will draft in the next Live SimDraft. Use the Draft List to scout players
in the draft. Your Draft Plan allows you to select what player or position to
target in the SimDraft; you can create it yourself or have the CPU help you.
Trade with any (or ALL) of the 31 other team owners in your league to obtain
players or draft picks. Trade offers may be accepted or declined or a
counteroffer proposed. Your options are limitless!

The Live-Draft
Where can you acquire new talent for your team? In the Live SimDraft! The
SimDraft takes place on a Sunday - you'll be online with other owners drafting
in Real Time. View the draft order, the draft list and sort players by position
during the Live Draft to help make a draft selection. The draft clock displays
how much time each team has remaining to make a selection. You can draft
players yourself, or you may choose to allow the CPU to draft for you.

Training Camp
Will you focus on improving your stars' skills, work on your rookies, or
balance both? It's up to you! Over the two days of Training Camp, you determine
how much training each player will get. Assign each position and player with
"reps" that will improve his performance. Training camp increases each player's
experience and durability ratings. But beware, the more reps a player has will
increase their chance of getting injured during training camp.

Finalize Your Roster
After you've made trades, drafted players and gone through training camp, it's
time to finalize your roster! After training camp, you will learn how many
players must be cut from your team. Then, you set up your starters and your
game plan. Create your Game Plan from scratch (How much will you run? How much
will you pass? Who gets the ball? Etc.), or select a Game Plan Template (like
the West Coast Offense, for example).

suffer an injury to a player(s) on your team and you wish to replace him,
