I anticipate being in pretty big cap woes this year so I will likely be looking to trade forward to next year. If I recall, the format would be like:

Panthers receive: Next year 1st rd pick, this year 7th rd pick
Other team receives: This year 1st rd pick, next year 7th rd pick

Is that correct?

Yeah

Way off base. His age should still be up on the spreadsheet, but he had been with the 49ers since the inaugural season.

Good ideas, but the execution of them is the very definition of mediocre. I have no idea why I decided to beat this game after grasping that within the first 90 minutes.

To Do
- Update team financial sheet for ages, years remaining on contract, and cap hits
- Explain Slash Line
- Briefly mention offseason events
- Briefly mention contract age limits again

I've always thought of Owl City as being wholly inoffensive, so while I have never been a fan of them, I am surprised at the vitriol toward them.

Didn't Foles beat me? I feel like he did

If he did, it was in relief and without attempting a pass because all of the stats he accumulated last season were from those three games.

The roster sheet in the hub spreadsheet should be fully updated for rating changes and retired players. Team financial sheet should have updated cap spaces for all teams.

- PM users with players demanding trades
- Explain Slash Line
- Briefly mention offseason events
- Briefly mention contract age limits again

Coaching Changes

As many of you recall, I have mentioned that I have found no evidence that coaches have any effect on the final product of your team. In a pure sim like this, the only differences they would have are slightly different coaching strategies. Everyone is free to alter those, which in turn nullifies any impact that they would have made. That being said, I like to mention changes at the Head Coach (HC), Offensive Coordinator (OC), and Defensive Coordinator (DC) positions.

Retirements
Chiefs HC Bill Parcells
Giants STC Pete Rodriguez (RIP)

Head Coach
Chiefs hire Panthers HC Tony Dungy
Packers hire Rams OC Jon Gruden
Panthers promote DC Rick Venturi (in real life, he had a 3-48-1 record at the collegiate and professional levels)

Offensive Coordinator
Bears hire Buccaneers OC Ron Turner
Bengals hire former Jaguars OC Tom Rossley
Broncos hire Titans OC Paul Boudreau
Browns hire Packers OC Brad Johnson
Buccaneers hire Seahawks OC Trent Green
Chiefs hire Bears OC Dennis Green (RIP)
Jets hire former Redskins HC Greg Knapp
Lions hire Browns OC Terry Shea
Packers hire Jets OC Eric Moulds
Pumpkins hire Redskins OC Tom Moore (RIP)
Rams hire former Steelers OC Chris Foerster
Redskins hire Bengals OC Mike Anderson
Seahawks hire Broncos OC Al Saunders
Titans hire Pumpkins OC Gary Kubiak

Defensive Coordinator
Bears hire Packers HC Ray Rhodes
Bills hire Giants DC Chad Brown
Cowboys hire former Saints HC Jim Haslett
Giants hire Seahawks DC John Fox
Panthers hire former Giants HC Jim Fassel
Patriots hire former B8NFLL DT (Bengal?) Bryan Robinson (RIP)
Seahawks hire Patriots DC Earl Holmes
Titans hire Cowboys DC Ron Rivera
Wildcats hire Bears DC Derrick Brooks

And with that, KCF has beaten Batman: The Telltale Series

The focus on Bruce made this an interesting experience. I knew that most of my decisions weren't going to amount to much in the long-run, but I'd like to think that things could have turned out a lot uglier regarding Harvey. This is one of my favorite uses of QTEs in video games. The art style used with it was excellent, and I liked how forgiving it was. I know that Telltale has been using essentially the same engine since Walking Dead S1, but I'm glad that I had no technical issues outside of lack of audio in two fights.

I won't go into every little flaw (such what I perceived to be the prominence of comic book logic) I found with the game.Because of the necessity of Batman/Bruce being in every scene, some characters were not as developed as I would have liked, most notably Oswald and Vicki. I am no expert on their comic book appearances to know how close to their original origins they were, but I know for me, these were very different iterations of them than I had experienced before. I think that I needed to see more of those two before their true colors were revealed to fully appreciate them as villains..

My gut reaction ranking of the episodes:
1 > 5 > 2 > 3 > 4

Telltale has yet to fail me in starting off with a bang. They do an excellent job at pulling me into the worlds they adapt.

Overall, this game doesn't touch The Wolf Among Us, but it compares well with The Walking Dead S1 in terms of overall quality.
