Dynasty Essentials Guide Discussion Thread

[Team Canada]

After printing off the guide (thank you library) I instantly noticed one addition that could be made.

Adding the age of the players in the player profile section. I know its easy to look online at ages, but having it right in front of ya would be great.

Other than that, Great Fantasy Guide!

You printed it off and the library didn't run out of paper or ink?? bet the librarian was giving u the dirty look after that

A condensed version of it, but yes.

Thank you for the comments and suggestions.

Just got it...great job to all involved! Love the mock draft ...Funniest thing stood out to me - Patriots Defense ranked #1!!! I kind of like it...it stood out since I was surprised that I caught it as I was skimming through it

Ive been saying that all season. They were the #1 ranked Defense in standard scoring last year, and very young, and getting younger. Got into countless debates all off-season with Steelers fans. Nice~

Thank God Bellisuck isn't one of our Division namesakes in the Fx3 IDP Dynasty League!

Go Blue!!!

Have a nice day.

First time here and loved the guide. The 'sleepers' were perfectly calibrated for my league (14x24) as a good percentage of the players aren't on rosters. I loved the way you broke down the team capsules too. Well done.

A couple recommendations for next time:
1. Page numbers for those of us that print it out.
2. I'd like to see a stats section in the team capsules.

Hey there. Thanks for your support with the guide!

I'm actually surprised the page numbers haven't already come up. The challenge we had was with our licensing agreement for all those NFL images. We had to design the document to be "viewed," not "printed," which is why you don't see different margins, front and back side pages, and page numbers. In essence, we just weren't willing to pay more to get those images because we would have had to raise the price for the guide. We simply weren't comfortable with that. We'll try to work something out next time, though.

As far as stats, what would you be looking for?

[Team Canada]

The best part to me was the 2 sets of rankings. I like the contender and dynasty rankings and can really help ppl how to rank players

[guderian]

As far as the page numbers, that's understandable. In that case if you would put the team capsules in alphabetical order that would help a lot.

With respect to the stats, it doesn't have to be much but just enough for me to put each player in context. Ideally, I'd like to see a small box for each team that lists the top 2 QBs, the top 4-5 RBs and the top 5-6 WRs/TEs and the yards and TDs for each for the prior year. That way when I'm reading about a player like LaFell, for instance, I'd know if he's starting from 200 yards receiving the prior year or 500. Then I could also quickly see the production of anyone that's ahead of him on the depth chart.

Again, very well done. I only offer this up because I'd know I'd want to get any constructive comments I could.

On the ranking sheet for all players, Mike Wallace is on Jax instead of Pit. On one sheet its right and in the normal ranking quick sheet its switched.

[dlf_jeffh]

Doh! We knew there was going to be something somewhere. We were almost beginning to think that we just didn't miss anything. Nice catch!

[dlf_kenk]

Wow, great catch!

That's fixed and will be updated for version 2.0.

Thanks!

[Team Canada]

Wow, great catch!

That's fixed and will be updated for version 2.0.

Thanks!

So would 2.0 be like an automatic update or are we going to download it again?

[tdorbust]

ya I don't think anyone would really notice except I had a trade with Mike Wallace and Mike Thomas in it and was just checking rankings with it.

Great read just purchased my copy!

[general mills]

Reading through it now! Great job. Definetly will be purchasing next years. Was Anthony Armstrong on the Redskins team in 2001?
