What is SportSims?
Do you think you can manage a professional
football team better than the guys who
do? Here's your chance! SportSims allows
you to act as the owner, general manager
and coach of your own football team.
Start your football franchise in your
choice of 32 cities. Draft players in
the live SimDraft. Send them to Training
Camp. Customize your game plan. Lead
your team into every game of a 16-game
season and perhaps to the playoffs or
even the SimBowl. Endure player injuries
and retirements. Then do it all over
again year after year to build your
football dynasty! |

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).

Standings
The payoff. your team is ready for the
field! Each 16-game season lasts 16
days. Choose to watch each game in its
entirety, view the QuickSim (tracking
the game's progression in mere seconds),
or get the boxscore. The statistics
and records for your league can be viewed
any time during the season. If you suffer
an injury to a player(s) on your team
and you wish to replace him, consult
the free agent list to acquire a player.
The next Draft List is released on the
same day as Game 1 so you can get a
'jump-start' on scouting the players
available in the next draft.
