Creating initial roster
To fill your initial roster you simply need to buy players for each of the empty position slots on your team. To buy a player, you can either start in the Roster page and click 'Buy' on each empty position or you can go directly to the Players page and search for players. Once you have found a player you want to buy in the Players page, you click on the player's Price to buy that player.
New teams will be built differently depending on whether the team is created during preseason or after the season has begun:
- If you create a team during the preseason, you will have unlimited trades until the season begins. You can buy and sell players as many times as you need.
- If you create a team during the regular season, you can buy and sell players an unlimited number of times on the day the team was created. Each player will lock when their game starts on that day or when the clock strikes midnight EST. In other words, on the second day of ownership you will need to use one of your allotted trades to make a roster move.
What if the Price is not clickable for the player I want to buy?
If you can't click on the price for a player, this means the player is not available to buy at the moment. Below are the reasons this could happen:
- You have not selected a team in the Teams page. Make sure you select a team before trying to buy players for the team.
- The player's game is in progress or already completed for that day/week.
- For SCS Football, trading is disabled between Monday 10pm and Tuesday 8am EST during the regular season.
- For SCS Baseball, Basketball, and Hockey, trading is disabled between 10pm and 7am EST each day during the regular season.
Managing Roster during the season
During the season, you can buy and sell players at any time after the morning lock period and before the player's game starts for that day. Each Sell transaction consumes a Trade, Buy transactions do not consume Trades. This means you can sell a player and buy their replacement, all with one Trade.
The selling of one player and buying of another can be done in one step or in two:
- To Sell/Buy in one step, in the Players page, search for a player to buy and click on their price. The next page you see will ask you which player you would like to sell. Choose the player from your roster that you'd like to sell and confirm the transaction.
- To Sell/Buy in two steps, in the Roster page, click the price of a player on your team to sell them and then separately search for and buy their replacement through the Players page.
Completing the Sell/Buy transaction in one step is quicker, and can be beneficial if it is close to game time.
