but to have 3 different rounds wouldn't make you have to log in bunch of times a day...you have a draft tuesday...you log in wednesday...readjust draft order...you have a draft saturday...log in sunday...readjust draft order...that's twice a week...the people in the playoffs are gonna be logging in the same amount to check how their games went anyway...this just gives those not in the playoffs a reason to log in...

when i say that someone loggin in more often should get an advantage...i mean logging in like...once a day to make sure everything is going well rather then once a week...

by bidding your limit on players that you want to buy off the market right away...you might be throwing away money...so right there...you're already proving the point...that a person that logs in more often and pays attention during a bidding war...they might be able to get the player for less money than if you just go in and bid your limit right away and then log in in a couple of days to see if you got him or not...

setting 3 PF's as your top 3 picks is not silly if you really feel that you need a PF and there is enough quality PF's that even if your first 2 are taken before your pick the 3rd one is still a great pick...then it makes sense to set it that way so that you are sure you're getting the PF...but as i mentioned before...then if you get your 2nd PF...and no one takes your 3rd pick...you get another quality PF...which isn't the worst thing i know...at the very least you can sell him if he's good enough...but if you could of used something else...it'd be nice to have that option to switch things up and prioritise on another position for your next round...

I log in often. I just think spreading the draft out on different weekdays is not a good idea. I like to get my draftees on one day, sell them before I have to pay their salary or relese them if they are not worth anything (which usually is the case for every 2-nd, 3-d rounder). If BB's would like to implement it then do it one the same day with 15 minute breaks before the next round. It's like ASG, you want to watch guys shoot the 3-s you log in. You want to see the results log in later.
I'm pretty sure that 99% of the time nobody changes their set draft order after the first round.
by bidding your limit on players that you want to buy off the market right away
Sometimes setting a high initial bid removes the excess intrest on that particular player.
that a person that logs in more often and pays attention during a bidding war
obviously, but is it vital to log in often to be good at this game? Daytrading is the only way an active manager can get ahead. Daytrading is hard though and the few that can successfully constantly do it are the lucky ones. It's gotten even harder with the current economy (which is great). I don't like games that force me to log in. That's why this is a great game.
