What I can find on the OOTP forums for the best time convert confirms that the safest time is late in the off season before the preseason begins. However I am getting feedback here that experienced PBL GMs have undergone smooth conversions at the beginning of the off season. It would be better for the new teams joining and for everyone looking into free agency to get this conversion done sooner. So we should make that happen.
However, people have reported problems with arbitration when converting between when arbitration is revealed and when the hearings occur which is where we are now.
So, new plan.
After people download tonight's sim it will be the last chance to offer arbitration.
Tomorrow night (Monday) I will sim through the arbitration hearings. Download Monday night's sim on 18. Export on 18. After you export Convert this file to 19.
Tuesday night I will pull exports in 18, convert to 19 and sim one day. Use 19 to download and export this sim.
Wednesday I will sim to first day of Free Agency.

I dont have OOTP 19. This seems kinda sudden. I know that the people who buy it want to use it for the league but i really hate buying annual release games especially when they arent on sale. It just feels wasteful and I would rather avoid paying 40 bucks right now when it will probably be a lot cheaper in a couple months.

I have announced several times that PBL would be converting to 19 at the end of the 2046 season. Before 2046 began I recommended saving some money with the pre release discount because I knew we would be hitting the conversion before the annual all star break discount.

Im not taking issue with the surprise aspect of it. I did know it was coming but I am just wary of the way we do it. Its like a 40-50 bucks a year subsciption and as soon as the new game comes out and we switch, the previous one becomes useless. I just wanted to express my hesitation with the current system. We have a full gm roster and our league doesnt need the updated rosters and stuff so i just think that when we convert to a new version there should at least be a discussion on what the new version would bring to our league that the old one doesn't.

Fair enough. For this version we have two new GMs coming into the league that do not own 18 and have purchased 19. Also, we did a volume discount pre release purchase with a group of us for discounted keys. Your point is well taken and we can discuss 20 when the time comes. But for 19 we are committed and it is full steam ahead.
