Not that it would change things much, but are we talking about Hue Jackson as a head coach overall or solely for the Browns?

The fact that nobody has corrected me suggests that I was correct in my initial findings, but is Little Nemo really only available for the NES? If it was like a $5 eShop title, I would consider giving it a shot, but I don't feel like buying an NES cartridge.

I was kind of expecting a little more out of the Mavs so far, so I might be hoping that they end up with a Top 5 pick and the Hawks get the 2020 pick instead.

Also, assuming you still have a chance to, can you tell me who our DC is, @KCF0107 ?

And my memory is usually good, but not always great, so just to make sure, Marvin Lewis is our head coach, right?

I have no way of finding out assistant coaching staff at this point now. Marvin Lewis is still your HC yes.

Coaching Changes

I say this every year, but I have found no evidence that suggests that your coaching staff has any impact on your team in a pure sim like this. Any changes in the coaching strategy as a result of a new coaching staff can be negated through user intervention (if any of that confuses you, we will go over that once we reach the preseason). That being said, I like to reveal coaching changes since I believe most of us are curious about them.

So for details regarding the poll, The live NFL draft has to occur in the spreadsheet due to all the draft info residing in it, and my brief attempt to run the draft in both Discord and spreadsheet was a complete failure. However, the live sim doesn't necessarily have to be done in the spreadsheet too. I have to update it for things like injuries and league leaders after certain weeks, but the live sim chat doesn't have to occur in the spreadsheet. I know that Discord is obviously better suited for chat, but I also know that the spreadsheet is more convenient if you want to immediately look up some info on a team or player. I could also compromise and try and remember to post game scores on Discord for those interested if the majority would prefer to keep the live sims in the spreadsheet. Basically our options boil down to:
- Do live sims in Discord where it is more suited for discussion as a whole
- Do live sims in spreadsheet where the convenience of all the relevant data for discussion can be found
- Do live sims in spreadsheet but also post game scores in Discord
- Some fourth option?

The award ballot by comparison is minor, but I feel like we need to determine what we want to do with it. Normally, I use what the game gives me for the awards that have an in-game counterpart. These are always five-player ballots. A few seasons ago, stevr lamented that two players that he wanted to vote for Off. and Def. player of the year awards (QB Peyton Manning and DT Jimmy Kennedy) were not finalists. The following season, I decided to make any player who was up for a positional award to be eligible for Off player, Def player, and MVP awards, essentially making those categories write-ins. Several users skipped over those categories and made a note that the massive amount of nominees was too overwhelming for them to choose. Just last season, I tried to meet people halfway and make those three categories full of 10 nominees, but people still found that to be overwhelming. Our options are as follows:
- We revert back to the way we did this in Seasons 2-8 and have five person ballots for every award (except sometimes GM of the Year) and use the list of Madden finalists unless I make changes at my discretion.
- We go with stevr's method that we used in Season 9 and do the write-in method for Off player, Def player, and MVP awards.
- We go with the hybrid method of Season 10 and have Off player, Def player, and MVP awards be expanded to 10 nominees.
- Some fourth option?

I decided to add a sheet to the spreadsheet to list all the games done so far in alphabetical order (each letter has its own column too).

I might rework it so that things are closer together, but it should be easier to make sure that a potential nomination hasn't been done before (if you do things manually) or just want to view GotM's history in a more pleasant arrangement.

What is Game of the Month Club?
Game of the Month is a community project open to all B8ers where users share, discover, play and/or discuss a select few games every month. The games featured each month are chosen by YOU the users (and Lady Luck)

The Basics
- Each month will feature three games that were chosen via a random drawing from a pool of games that users nominated
- For each game you beat, you get a cool point on our just-for-fun standings as well as a nomination for next month's randomized drawing
- In order to receive the point and nomination, you must beat said game within the calendar month
- If you beat one of the current month's games in the previous month, you can apply for a "recently beaten waiver," but you will only receive a point and no nomination should you do so
- Drawing for next month's games is usually around a week before the end of the month
- If you periodically keep us posted on your progress and/or talk about different aspects of the games, then everyone will think you are super awesome!

Nomination Rules
- You get one nomination automatically each month
- You receive additional nominations each month for every chosen game that you beat
- Each game you nominate has to be unique from all other nominations and cannot include a game that has already been selected for GotM
- Each game must be a standalone game that can be acquired and played on its own (aka cannot be DLC/expansion that requires the base game)
- Nominations only carry over if you beat a chosen game after the drawing for next month's games but before the end of the month
