Are you going to be in violation if you're found to be playing FHM8 at all? It's a game after all. This feels extremely shortsighted and insanely heavy handed, especially when there is a group of people working behind the scenes literally doing testing on the new sim. Hopefully all of their chats and data will be sent to everyone that wants it so users can build their players and GMs can set their lines on an even playing field. Feels like we should get out a D20 and start rolling for outcomes at this point.

Coaches learning on the job and separating themselves the next several seasons gaining experience is way more exciting than 20 GMs sweating out 1000s of seasons before the new engine is even implemented.

I don't get your point about "rolling for outcomes", do you actually prefer knowing exactly how everything will play out (standings, league leaders, etc.) before pre-season?
