Now i don't want this to sound like one of those threads that are all whiny and just someone talking about how much something sucks...cause i think the draft is great...I'm so very happy with the new scout system...(although i think it could be slightly better if the scouting could be integrated with the hiring of a scout as a staff member instead of getting scout points through donation...the better the scout the more points you get per week...and more than likely...the more you're gonna have to pay so it balances...but if you're able to find a cheap scout...you could be getting more points for less money...so it has benefits to being a attentive BuzzerBeater player...but this way's good too...)
in fact...it's nice to have an actual draft system...growing up in Canada i'm used to sports (the ones i follow at least) having the draft system to introduce new talent and balance out the skill level amongst teams...I'm not quite sure how European leagues do it...if they have a draft or not...but I've played some sports manager games with no draft...and...well...as i said...I'm just glad this game has a draft system at all...
now that I've finished kissing butt...maybe I'll get on to my idea...
you ever have a time when say...you REALLY want a PF...and there are 3 descent ones that you've scouted...so you set em as 1, 2, and 3 in your draft order...now you only want 1...and you figure to set em in this order so that if your first choice is taken...you get 2...if 1 and 2 are taken...you should at least get 3...etc...but then you log in to discover that all 3 of your draftees...by some sort of luck (good or bad??) are your top 3 choices...so now you have 3 PF's when you really only wanted 1...
okay...now on to my idea...
instead of doing the entire draft in one sitting...we should split it up...we have 3 rounds of playoffs...we have 3 rounds of the draft...it works out perfectly...each round goes during a playoff game...and in the case of the final (being best of 3) the 3rd round of the draft can go either on the day of the 1st game...2nd game...or tie breaker...and seeing as these draftees were acquired so late in the season...you won't be able to use them for playoffs...
if this system was to go into effect...you could log on between rounds and check what you got and reorganize to optimize your drafting experience...
you NEED a PF...you send all the PF prospects to the top of your list...then the day after the first playoff game...check back...you got your PF...now you need a good PG...send the PF prospects to the bottom of your list and rearrange your list to be pro PG...
i think this would add a new level of control to the management of your team...and after all...isn't that what we all want...is more control???
so if there is any of the Buzzer Beater higher uppers reading this (or anyone that is in tight with one)...i think it could be something to try and implement...yes?
