I've had such a wish many seasons ago after seeing out ATG and HOFs fall to bots and human teams drafting only MVPs. But I've never suggested it, because it's not really healthy for the game (points have been brought up by several people here so I won't repeat them) and I'm pretty sure even if no one objected to it, the devs wouldn't even implement it.

But reading this thread make me think:
How about we omit 5 potential players from the top draft choice of bots? If the default draft order of all teams are different, then just omitting it from the top pick itself should guarantee that no bots draft any 5 potential players in the first round. If there is a chance 2 or more bots to have the same top draft choice, then it's still okay, because the possibility of two bots having the same draft order is low, and if they do end up that way, the second choice might still not be a 5 potential player, and even if it is, it would solve the problems of teams winning and still getting a solid trainee.

IMO this should be the most balanced and natural way to reduce the chances of our high potential players going to bots.

Hobsoniusz, it's a pity there aren't more of us. And important things are decided by incompetent people. Ehh, this game could be perfect, but why should it be good? Ehh, that's a shame

To tell the truth, you can't offend anyone. That's it.

Of course, you write about yourself and the bombing of our proposal.

I dunno if this already mention previously.

1. How if skip but turn, i.e if bots are rank 16 at league, this bot will not receive 1st pick.

what is advantage of this is, if all human active arrange their draft, then the bot will only got players with ball 1-3 either potential or rating.

2. Or just give bot team a players with rating - potential of ball 1-3 (should re tweak the programming code somehow)

I'm only going to answer to the micronations question as an experimented U21 DT for various NT: It would be positive. I agree with you, there would be lots more of spanish, polish, usa players than micronations ones, but every NT have only 18 players, so it doesn't care if there's 1000 spanish players, if the micronation got 50 great players to train well. The issue nowadays it's every micronation has just a few players every season and in majority of cases, his manager don't want to train or sell him. If those players where on the transfer list, the NT manager can look for managers with intentions of training them.
