donation tiers!) As the economy has struggled, so has ad rates. Pennantchase is different from other sites on the Internet, because it has large data requirements and is chugging and churning 24 hours a day, simulating almost 4,000 games every single day. (That’s like two full MLB seasons being run every single day.) It’s not like a blog that costs pennies to host and run. You’ll notice I’m testing out a video banner - the idea here is to ideally reduce the total number of ads served while potentially lifting revenue a bit. The video banner really isn’t all that more intrusive than other ad banners (and in some ways less so). The videos are muted and don’t refresh like the banners do. In some cases the video might swoop down to the lower corner on desktop, but it should be pretty out of the way for most screen sizes. On mobile the video would remain where it is. If videos can out-perform other ads, it would allow me to render fewer ads overall, which would be ideal. As always, let me know if there are issues, and thanks to all of you who do what you can to help keep the website viable!]] View the full article

Wolverine Studios’ first release of the 2023 line is just around the corner. It’s college season in the DDS franchise and Draft Day Sports College Football 2023 has finally arrived in First Access. College football is all about the rivalries. DDSCF23 will see if you have what it takes to beat your rivals into submission year after year? Wolverine Studios has you ready to recruit, gameplan and bring home victory to your school. Several images are not associated with the game studio. These are player created modifications and can be found in the DDSCF community. What’s new in 2023? Wording is courtesy of Wolverine Studios – One of the most important parts of college football of course is recruiting. Every season is a competition to see who can bring the most five star recruits to their program and to see who ends up being overrated and to see which teams have developed players who were not rated very highly and turned them into future pro draftees. The addition in the real world of players transferring at higher rates has changed the landscape of college football and we have made changes this season to mirror that as well in our recruiting feature. We have added more recruiting periods to be able to handle additional transfers of players, we’ve changed the system to use dollars instead of points to allow for more immersion and we have added the ability for players to decommit in some situations to truly give you a realistic experience. Big changes have also carried over to the field itself in this year’s version. We have updated the in game logic to allow defensive players to better cover movement in motion plays, we have new counter strategy options to allow you to gameplan even more specifically for your next opponent, there has been a revamp of depth chart packages, usage and weights to make things more intuitive and give you even greater control image We have worked hard to update the substitution logic giving you new choices over which players to use and when to use them when designing your packages. It all adds up to you being able to fine tune your strategy in even greater detail giving you the opportunity to truly build a team and plan that fits your vision. One of the most fun and engaging new additions to the game is the addition of the Trophy Room. Now you can look at a glance and see all of your past bowl glories as well as awards your teams have racked up over time. There’s nothing like looking back and seeing just how awesome you have been! And if that trophy case looks a little empty to you then it is all the more encouragement to get to work to start filling it. One of the most fun aspects of a simulation game like DDS: College Football 2023 is the ability to create your own game world. Our games have always thrived on having a massive amount of customizable options. One of the biggest debates in college football is the playoff system. Is a 4 team playoff enough? What would the college football universe look like if there was a 16 team playoff? You get to make that call in DDS:CF23. Maybe you miss the good old days when the playoff didn’t exist. We’ve got an option for that too! Finally, you will be able to link your league with the future Draft Day Sports: Pro Football 2023 for a totally immersive game universe. Bring rookies in from DDSCF and track your college universe without ever having to leave DDSPF.

Draft Day Sports Pro Basketball 2022 is the next version of the basketball franchise that keeps growing and growing every season. Wolverine Studios listened to their community and heard the ask of making parts of the good more immersive. The free agency process and the players in the game seemed to be missing a little something. So Wolverine Studios stepped up to deliver new features and besides some really great new cosmetic changes. NOTE: The game is not licensed by the NBA or the NBA players union! Community members have put together the graphics. See below. With the additions of the “Slybelle Real World Mod (Team Logos, Names)” and the “GM Games – Pro Photo Pack (Player, Draft, Coach, Court Photos)” you’ll be playing a franchise mode full of graphics, realism and life. Mods are here: https://www.draftdaysports.com/board/viewforum.php?f=342&sid=79f27f30b9b2a85969d0d3b268df817d New Features Wording is courtesy of Wolverine Studios – All new personality types allow each player, coach and general manager to have unique characteristics for you to manage and for them to interact with each other in the game. Each particular personality type has its own tendencies towards the game’s ratings in loyalty, motivation, consistency, greed, winning, work ethic and demands for playing time for each player to shape players in a certain relatable fashion. USING A MOD FROM GM GAMES. Check out Alex Caruso the ‘Artist’ — Even a transparent art canvas in the background Free agency has been totally revamped with the addition of a player meeting system. Have in game meetings with free agents you are courting, get feedback from them on what they are looking for in a new team and explore the new promise system which allows you to entice free agents by making them certain guarantees about your team. Fail to live up to them though and end up with unhappy players demanding trades. A new option allows you to shop a player to the entire league and get an immediate list of teams who have interest in the player as well as other recent new features like learning about what type of build your trading partners are doing, see what their needs are, get offers on demand, and a sign and trade option to get something before your star player leaves town. Rookie scouting has been completely overhauled to give you a much more clear and useful system to scout your future stars. Assign your scouting points to specific tasks that will benefit you most in your decision making so that when draft time comes around you are armed with the details you want whether it is basic overall ratings for each player or a time consuming deep dive scouting report looking for diamonds in the rough.

Global Board Content Board content is the most visible and controversial. A few things to note: I am not always able to remove content immediately. Please message me if you see something that needs to be removed. Hate speech, bullying or bigotry is not allowed. This is a private website, so free speech does not apply here. I am the only one who has the freedom to allow what I want. Nobody cares if you disagree with that, so respectfully, accept it or find a new site. I try to keep politics off as best I can. I do not discriminate based on ideology. If you perceive a bias, I am sorry about that, but again, nobody cares. This is a free site that I offer so people can have fun and talk sports, not politics. Some areas are gray. If a topic crosses sports and politics and remains civil, I usually let it go. But certain responses might get deleted if they veer into political or opinionated pieces. Please note, discussions about competing websites or products is also not allowed. Private Message & Chat Content I don't regularly monitor private messages. If someone is bothering you, please inform me. You can also block users. Anyone who bullies or harasses another user is subject to removal. Team Content It's hard to police team names and logos. I do my best to remove offensive team names and logos if people inform me. The system will automatically filter out some offensive terms.
