I'm torn, I'd like to support the AFL-run competition but this looks so much better with out all the stupid ass rules. :-X

AFL DT game made by virtual sports with limited trades (30) like past years has been. Prices and salary cap are also different to that of AFL Fantasy, for instance Bock is at 180k in this game.
My initial thought is of excitement; it feels a lot harder with limited trades again.
And sorry, I know this is an AFL Fantasy forum so perhaps the wrong place to post.
Here's a few interesting price changes compared to AFL Fantasy:
Martin/Hogan- 212k not 265k
KK 192k not 250k
McDonald 177k not 243k
Sheed 160k not 235k
HMac 297k not 344k
Longer 240k not 194k
Not sure which to go with, because I don't play for the overall prize, like the bragging rights over mates I think it'll be hard to get this out to everyone you know
Fantasy Wars 2014.
Going to be interesting to see how this all plays out.
Definitely playing hope they have prizes as this Is my best game.
I'll definitely be playing VS DT at this stage, not sure about AFL Fantasy.
All these rule changes are just lletting people with no idea exceed their abilities in the comp!
Agree Toga. Looks like VS will be the way to go!

Just completed my 1st effort at my team, im in its old school and I like that. :)
Definitely playing this have just done my first team :D
Awesome :D
I'll be playing.
Definitely doing Old School DT, will be so good having limited trades back. :D
We should start putting a league together so we are all in atleast one together.

Coaches section Grazz ;)
looking at some of the things they say, sound a little bitter.
I'll wait for prize announcements :P
I'm sure they would be Zippy, and I guess rightfully so - AFL took their game and flowered with it!
I'm in :)
Fantastic news
Cheers to VS
I'm in too
Liking this change
In 2014, while trading, you can move any dual position player within your squad when a spot opens up, as many times as you like
Never saw this thread, would of posted earlier.
Anyway, I'll be playing both. Don't think some friends who are less serious about fantasy than I am will make the switch. I'll be doing both though, obviously. Not many rule changes (same scoring system?) but the main one is 30 trades which changes the game completely, also it is run directly by VS as opposed to 'Fantasy' and SC, which has its advantages. Lots of pot shots at the AFL on the site which was funny to read. Looking forward to it and will make a team when I have the time.
Time for a new board then I guess? Also, 'AFL Fantasy' officially needs to be called Fantasy now. This is Dreamteam. Will take some getting used to :P
Was gonna say Q, should we start a poll saying who's playing what and see if there's enough interest in VS DT we get another board for it?
This has got me sort of excited, DT is back woot.

Don't think lots and lots will play (VS games haven't had massive exposure in the past) but majority of the serious 'Fantasy' community will. I doubt many people will just stop Fantasy, at least I won't.
Definitely deserves another board, but like I said in the Feedback board, not sure if it needs sub boards.

Good idea mate. ;)
Probably doesn't need sub boards as you say but think a board would be handy.
Unless we had like a DreamTeam/AFL Fantasy board with sub-boards "P&T in DT / P&T in AF / Draft Games / AF Matchday" or something cos the scoring systems are the same but idk.

But they are totally different games if you think about it.
No such thing as a sideways trade in DT, to a good coach at least :P

As per the new branding for the old DT competition, I have changed the titles of the relevant boards to AFL Fantasy. If and when the DT competition gets relaunched separately, there will be new boards set up for it.
Mentioned a while ago he was going to set up new boards ;)

Cool, onya mate hadn't seen that.
Don't think it will get around really and trying to convince everyone you know to switch would be annoying so it's probably a no from me, and also because I get distracted enough with 1 competition let alone 2

the question is, will virtual sports continue to run sportal as well as this new site?
Awesome, think this will be my game of choice 8)
im in and 3 of my mates are in to but i will be doing afl fantasy to but main focus will be this
Music to my ears. Yay for the real game, yay for dream team!
Watch the participation become diluted between dt and fantasy and supercoach rise to undisputed king. Ridiculous move by the powers that be. I'm not playing that fantasy crap. Sounds ridiculous with those unlimited trades before round 2.

and then watch....
as supercoach becomes subject to the same changes that DT has gone through over the past 2 years

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
I'll always prefer the DT scoring format.
Inconsistent scoring system in SC is an absolute farce.
I tend to agree there Q, SC is just a bit inconsistent for my liking..
I am up for this too, everyone tell all your mates about it who are serious!
Im looking forward to this ;D
The DT Live site has been updated to include "Real DT" so you can make your team there rather than using the fiddly VS system.

would've just preferred there to be 1 format, so there's no indecision, questioning, or segregation. :-\

I don't think you have to do the Real DT to be serious, both will be interesting competitions with lots of challenge, I'm personally sticking with Fantasy because even though it's changed a lot it's what I've been doing over the years so I don't want to pick up and go to another system
I am really looking forward to both comps.
Bring it on :)

I'll see what the prizes are like and make my choice based on that haha
(http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view3/3920570/why-don-t-we-have-both-o.gif)
Will make a judgement at the end of the season on efffectiveness of both SC and Real DT venturing over to Real DT for the first time and just waiting for Monty to set up the new Boartd for Real DT so we can separate out the 2 DT comps.
Had real fun trying to make my first Real DT time within the salary cap.
Ill be playing both but only enjoying Real DT ;) AFL Fantasy have destroyed the game i grew up with.
I hate MARKETING COMMITTIES, their only concern is getting hits and making money.
AFL fantasy is a joke.

Sweet, I'm definitely in
New board made when I am away :(

What are your thoughts on ultimatefooty?
I've got a keeper league, that'll be in it's 5th season this year. (3 seasons with Fantasyfooty.net and 2 with ultimatefooty)

IMO, Ultimate Footy is the best of the footy fantasy games. So much versatility - you can personalise scoring systems, team structure, player numbers, positions. The list goes on.
Is anyone else having problems with their team and leagues not loading? PC and laptop both have same issue. :(
Is there unlimited trades up to round 2 like AFL Fantasy? I hoping not.

No. This is the Real DT - not the trumped up unlimited trades, dont think, dont plan, AFLFantasyforbeginners that the other one is!!
;D

Yep you have it mate.
Is anyone having problems with trading? When I try to trade out a player who hasnt played yet, it goes to the trade page, but doesnt load any available players. Just stays blank, surely we can still trade leading up to next lockout?
Mines working fine :-\

Have you tried a different web browser mate? Not sure if that would do anything but could be worth trying :)
Hi , i have had the same problems re Virtual and trading . I sent them emails and they tell me to perhaps upgrade my browser which i refuse to do as i can play other AFL fantasy games. Anyway sometimes i can log onto Virtual and cant trade and sometimes i cant log onto the site. I was furious with them when i a few days ago reported the problems and they didnt get back to me until today and it cost me approx 250 pts minimum . I now waiting for them to reply to me and if the problems are not rectified by them i wont play it again . I know others are having the same problems as you and i . If they didnt think they had a problem why didnt they contact me immediately as their first reply to me was today .My problems ahve existed since last Saturday. If it wwas my browser causing the problems then i wouldnt have been able to set a team and trade Last Friday .
This is a copy i just received from DT Virtual
Hi,
Thank you for your email.
Please provide a more detailed explanation as to the login problem you are experiencing and we may be able to look into the matter further.
If you can please also provide more specific information about the trade issue you are having, we may be able to assist further.
Please note, Internet Explorer 7 is an older version of that web browser. Unfortunately as it is an old version, SuperCoach may not be fully optimised to work with that version, you'll need to upgrade it or download a different browser to avoid any issues.
Kind Regards,
VirtualSPORTS Support
-----------------------------------
As you can see they are talking about SUPER COACH but we are talking about DT Virtual , they are so mucked up , its a joke .
--------------
My latest reply ( and there have been many ) to them was:
I somtimes cant log into DT Virtual and sometimes i can . Since last Saturday am i cant TRADE .
I play Super Coach and DT Fantasy and you are DT VIRTUAL which isnt working properly and i cant trade in etc .

I wrote to DT yesterday and they replied today saying the same thing "try to upgrade browser". So I upgraded a newer version of google chrome to my laptop and........ Now it works fine :) plus some other sites working better as well.
...Now im one happy camper ;D thanks for your help guys.
PS. Hawks007 it shouldnt cost you anything to get the newer version of your browser installed and you'll have to do it at some stage anyhow. It only take a few minutes.
If you use Internet Explorer for anything other than downloading Chrome/Firefox you don't deserve to play DT :P
I put Fox on as well but DT Virtual have not explained to me why i could use the DT virtual last Friday but not since
This comp is so much better than the official dt. That's all
