I've opened the thread cause I've tried, you know I play here since season 2 I had time to try a lot of things, including paying a PR lvl 5 (old system) for 2 complete seasons.
It's quite easy you can check by yourself, the best player is a 3,5K/week potential lvl 8 (but I don't know the skills) the second one is a 3,5K/week potential lvl 6.
We are playing at the same game?

I don't understand which are the positive aspects of the draft that you see and why do you think that it doesn't need to be improve, I tried to bring some arguments, in your last post you didn't say anything to support your love with the actual draft system so at the end I really don't understand why you (like others) want to keep this draft but I respect your opinion, even if I think that if you can support it with some real arguments I'll be more than happy to listen and maybe to follow your opinion ;)

LAST POST PROMISED

There is always the alternative to play so bad that you get first draft pick as you pay 40k for scouting every week. That should pretty much guarantee that you get a good draftee.

It SHOULD be, but it isn't. As I said in an earlier post, I had the first picks in seasons 13 and 14 and drafted the best player in both drafts. I sold them for 200k and and 370k. That's not what I consider 'good draftees', especially since other draftees are worth millions.

I have a LeBron from every draft, though his name isn’t ever really LeBron, but his name not important and could be dangerous, it’s all about the sequencing and therein lies the secret, when you push this over there or maybe you pull it, or whatever, and in the end he’s wearing a headband and likes to try to draws fouls instead of just playing like a man, and I would tell you how it’s done but it’s so easy that you should be able to figure it out, but maybe you just like having so many of those Nancy’s on your team and so why worry about the draft when a Nancy is easy to get so why do we keep fighting when we could have all LeBron all the time and cause a shortage of headbands at the mall.

I (heart) your posts

I'm really glad that there is no guaranteed reward for throwing one or two seasons. So I still think the draft system is good as it is now. How many LeBron James' or DRose's are there in one Draft Season worldwide? I'd say it'll be less than 10. Some of them end up playing Baseball others earn millions in the NBA.

I don't ask to have a guarentee LBJ or Rose in the draft,I would be satisfied if I can pick at least a Taj Gibson or a Courtney Lee if I'm in an high position in the draft

I seem to remember somebody (not pointing fingers...) saying its sooooo hard to move up through the game, and especially in hard countries like spain and italy. I remember gazillions of managers complaining about how they make no money and how the higher leagues can make money they cannot

I think you are talking about managers who don't want to put enough time into the game to read the whole manual and maybe some useful forum posts, make long-term plans or carefully pick their players from TL. I'm not saying they should be involved 2-3 hours/day into BB, but a lot of managers think they will be promoting every season into higher league with mediocre management.

You don't understand that the problem is not in the "absolute price" but in the "relative price"
3 M for a 18yold rookie when a full trained top player is paid 10M means a thing,a rookie paid 3M when the same previous top player is paid 4M mean all another thing
The point is always the same:how much a player cost considering all the factors(age,height,potential,ecc...) compared to the overall market
The scale of the market is out of mind actually,because it's not that a top rookie worth as a medium level player,actually happens that a top rookie worth as a top player,that doesn't have seanse because in the better situation at the end the two players will have the same skills,but you could not create value with training during that time you spend to make your rookie a top player

The fact is for every $100k you spend on wages thats $1.4mil a season.... so buying a top rookie thats going to cost you $80k max in his first season and maybe $300k max in season 2 etc... actually works out to be a reasonable deal.

Is their a luxury tax - sure... but thats the fault of the current NT set up and the fact only a slender % of managers can be successful. If you only plan to reward 120 odd managers each season then the other 50,000 + have to find ways to amuse themselves.... buying a young stud is one of the more common ways to do it.
