Or it could be based on world/country rankings.....order by rank, then first for Big, second for Great, third for Big and so on....
However, situation can change during the season, and that cannot be avoided.

One really easy thing to change: cut the third draft round, adjust the number of rookies. NOBODY knows what its good for to get three rookies, 2,95 of them are garbage anyway.

Plus this would make scouting somewhat better, because you could get a more precise opinion of the availiable players.

This is such a minor problem, assuming it's a problem at all that it's not even worth wasting the time to change.

Thread-title does not say "problem". To me this appears to be an easy fix, of a minor issue - small steps are better than standstill

Fair enough. I'll clarify. I don't think it's even a minor issue, I think the draft is set up just fine the way it is.

Just my opinion.

Disagree, under that system everyone would pretty much know everything. Then why bother with scouting at all? And if you want to spend more to see more then that is an option as well. Someone who spends $20,000 per week in scouting should be vastly rewarded with knowledge above someone that spends just 10K.

I like the draft system as is.

It just produces junk data that pollutes the database. Reducing the junk data by 33% with just cutting one draft round would be a nice way to fix that. If there are 3-5 useful players in every draft class, we dont need 48 to choose from.

If "everybody" had good information about the draft it would lead us to 1) the worst teams picking the best players (thats the intention of a draft system anyway) 2) the best teams still would not spend a dollar, because they would only pick up trash players anyway.

The 'junk data' of one extra round of drafting is minimal compared to the huge fraction of teams, leagues and games that are both simmed and saved in all those BOT infested lower divisions.

Canada has about 300 active teams meaning that all of them can fit in the top 3 divisions (where there are 336 total spots). Meanwhile there are over 5000 perpetual 'BOT' teams with rosters and simming games 2-3 times a week in divisions 4 and 5. Then multiple that by all the countries in the world (number of divisions and bot teams will obviously vary from country to country) and then multiple that by 20-24 seasons of play.

Do you really think that one extra round of drafting is creating that much 'junk data' compared to that?

So we can cut those too, right?

As Marin can only do some tweaking, thats pretty much anything we can ask for (and watch Miley twerking in the meanwhile)...

I would like to see the top division in every country be reshuffled every year - I am sick and tired of being in the harder side of mine season after season. Three times I have made it up to the EBBL and always back to the stronger side. I assume there are other managers in the top divisions in other countries with similar issues.


Welcome to the NBA Western Conference.

Cutting the third round of the draft is maybe an idea but it would also cut out 1/3 of the players, and not just the bottom third. That would make the drafts even worse with less top rookies who are hard enough to draft already so I say this is a bad idea.

Cutting the worthless division V in Canada, division VI in Espania etc would be a MASSIVE saving in server time and data torage. That is an obvious move that would make the game run better. It would have minimal impact on managers but surely help the servers have less problems with a much smaller database. If it is easy to do this offseason is the perfect time.

Sorry for my English, but I have some suggestion, too.. :)

I think every BB team need an every day statistic, where you will see, how many people have chacked your tm today. It will make our every day more interesting. Also, after statistic, we can make an award, too, like - the most popular tm of year or month in the concrete league..
And for premium users(I forget how they are called =D ), they will see an every name of tm or user, which have chacked you during the day!

What do you think about this?
