I guess creating a draft in the beginning of the season gives a good chance for a league full of friends to trade info. It prolly would be pretty hard on the servers to keep updating it every week. Perhaps giving you a 3 day window with your draft points at the end of the season to scout the players you want. What happens to the people that can not log on? They will get random scouting?

hmm, the trading info thing pretty much kills the week-by-week reveal idea dead :-(

Excuse me,why I should reveal to someone that I've found a great player for the future,with the risk that someone picks him before than me?There could be some problems only in the case of multi-accounts,but that is punished....

Why would you not share information among 3 players in the league, if you know the others wouldn't get it.

It's too open to abuse.

I think that the problem could be bypassed keeping the players in the list not identified. The same player should have different position in different teams' list. Imagine I've scouted twice the player no. 7 of my draft list: I couldn't pass the informations to my two friends simply because the player in position 7 of their list is a different one.

If you get the height which is logical to be able to learn who is which would not be so hard. You also should have names anyway, why the names are a secret? It is not realistic.

Sharing information is logical. Surely it is a part of the game. It is part of real life. Why is it a problem? Can you even trust the information to you has been given? Easy to mislead and trick it would be. I could scout two players each week but just once do four. When I share my information I share 22 weeks x 2 players and keep the two best secret. This would add lots of options to the game. The scouting could be done on a day when there is nothing now like sunday, monday or wednesday to give yet another reason to log on. More players loging on, more fun, more interest. Is this not good for the game.

If people forget to pick they scout a random unscouted player.

just for record :
on mondays there are the National teams games
on wednesday there are the BuzzerBeater Best games

so only day during the week with no real activity is sunday, and one day should be free

and we already have this and it works pretty much well...

I would go for draft system change into every week scouting system as that would make more sense and would be more useful...

As I wanna scout more then one time just small players (I just do`nt need big ones)...

Getting some info after each week scouting:
1st time age, height and position,
2nd potential and rating balls with mark,
3rd three skils: RB/ID/IDorOD/OD/PA (C/PF/SF/SG/PG)+JS+JR/IS (PG/SG--SF/PF/C)

using 4 scouts system as we have know.
1st would need just one scout to get info
2nd visit could be done just by using 2 scouts on one exact player that week
3rd visit could be done just by using all 4 scouts on one exact player that week

i mentioned it in the past from time to time, the indentifier through high could be avoided in giving it labels like M, L, XL etc. And to be honest this would also be realistic, because it is rarely seen that the high of a basketball player is measured correctly.

as well there could be 60 players instead of 48 on the list, so in this case 12 player wont be drafted by any team and just die

Having this amount of players on the list as well as they have different numbers on each teams list it`s almost impossible to share the info... And if they try so in best possible way they`ll know something around 10 players (but they have to be scouted to compare, so it`s no advantage for any of those team as they know that player anyway) Don`t forget that they have to be scouted 3 times for comparing would be 100% accurate, so if they both each spending 10k+20k+40k=70k on one player, so let them share that info that they have scouted the same player and fight for him, who`ll get the better draft pick

Can you get over yourself? In every post the game is about you, you, you.
There are people who cheat, there are people who share info, there are people who have multiple teams, there are people who daytrade etc. It does not have to be your league. But do you understand that having the draft appearing at the start of the season, will create a good platform for info sharing.
I am not against having draft info every week, but it has to be thought through thoroughly.
