The game that will be released will certainly not be the final form of the game; Sim Dynasty Baseball has been around nearly 10 years now and it has not yet reached its final form. We already have a lot that Sim Dynasty Baseball did not have at release, most notably Dynasty Vision and strategy settings. But much of my design will need to be simplified or shelved to make this release date. In particular, playbooks will probably not make their appearance, and any features related to the multi-season product like scouting, college drafts, and retirements will likely be put off until after the single-season product is launched.
I will be working hard and fast at very late hours to get this done. You might see more or bigger bugs than normal during this time. I appreciate your patience and dilligence as we push through toward launch.
After I get the basic game complete, we will start a second beta league running two games a day with no offday; this will allow me to find bugs that may only appear with multiple leagues and/or leagues running on a different schedule.
Thank you all so much for your hard work in helping test Sim Dynasty Football!

As you may have noticed in the General Discussion forum, the intent is to open single-season sign ups by the real life Super Bowl on February 6th. That gives me 40 days to get this together, and we need to be able to test on the "final" product so that effectively means I have about three weeks to finish this.The game that will be released will certainly not be the final form of the game; Sim Dynasty Baseball has been around nearly 10 years now and it has not yet reached its final form.
