i got a Suggestion, and i think it should be in before the draft... i think you should change the system that the max stars a player gets can be 10, so there wont be someone with 5 starts and 4K salary and someone with 5 stars and 7K salary... also i think a scout can just go and ask the player about his age so we need to know the player's age as well...

I can agree on the age thing, especially as info for a second time scouting since he then is invited for a private practice and the first thing the scout will need to ask is the age. ;)

However I do not agree on the stars thing. 5 stars is good, even though there is much diffrence (and YES I had two 5 stars last draft and they where lousy players!!, so I know what I talk about). The thing we must keep in mind is that these stars are given by our scouts, who make an ESTIMATE of the youths they see.
Only after we drafted the player we will clearly see how good his skills are, and it seems the scouts might be (a little) off somethimes. But there is nothing wrong with that.

Compare it to the arena expansion, if the estimate is 10 days, it might as well be 12, well if the scout estimates 5 stars, it might as well be 4. ;)

If there was no randomsness and all info would be given out on a platter all the time, we'd all sit here and give in the info in excel or some other mathematical/statistical program and calculate which spot I'd end up in, with all various kinds of tactics and stuff, after a few hours of calculating it would give me the perfect way to play, and we would know the result before it was created by the game. not very funny, nor interesting.

Misty info is good! ;) We should not always know what to do, we should somethimes have to gamble a bit and prey we chose right. No?

ack

especially draft should be a bit gambling, because it is difficult to say like someone tkaes the step to the enxt level.

Michael Olowokandi was an good example for an over estimates Pick, but there are a lot example wihth "bad" top ten picks, or good second round picks.

But the age thing i want to see too.

For Sars and salary, there was another problem too, big guys gets more salary then small one expecially rebounding could raise the salary.

PS @thread opener: next time use a topic, where youknow whats in it before reading it. This suggestion was made several times before.
