This is exactly what I was worried about

Introducing effectively more cheaper points, but not raising at least the floor of how bad a draftee can be.

As of now it doesn't seem logical to even scout if you don't have picks 1-3, don't know if this change fixes it.

It might means more points spent by teams in draft=more better players(skills&potential).
Let's see

The amount of points spent does not change the skills & potential of the draftees.

Some experienced manager said so few weeks ago when we were discussing draft (one with lots of 5ball pot).
I assumed it made sense.
Sorry for missleading post.

Maybe draft points should be included in news for everyone

apparently there were 5 5ball 18 years old prospects in my last draft, I managed to uncover 3 and was able to draft only 1 of them. I guess this is extremely rare though.

I drafted a 18 y/o HoF with the 45th pick some days ago.
45th!!!
Almost every manager in my league had three chances to draft this guy. But nobody invested points, me included, into the draft. You can make a steal, even if you are going for the championship. It depends on your league and the managers in it, not the points.

Very good point - if I'm drafting in the top 10 I'm always spending some points - to have at least 1-2 targets on the top of my list - trying my luck - a player selling for more than what was spent on points is already bank, and if that HOF pops in, huge win. Outside of top 10 I'm also spending, just less

Yes such steals existed.

But since draft points are cheaper = more people scouting =~ less chance of a good outcome?

Hope im making myself clear, my mind is trying to give me a stroke

Unannounced stuff is the best, thanks for the heads-up
Hopefully, we'll have someone to develop/improve something other than the app

Yeah, kinda sad this update was noticed earlier and was pretty much the only update for the season

Yeah, I'll definitely rethink about paying/playing because the version of the game being developed isn't the one I'm playing, unfortunatelly.

My heart actually sank when I wanted to change my scouting point investment back to 2 points earlier this week and saw that there was a 6 point option.

I decided to tank late in the season after realizing I won't be able to build a championship team around my 2 HoFs, and was lucky enough that it was a super loaded draft class. I had kept scouting points from previous seasons, but it wasn't enough to scout the whole pool (yea I do this most of the time when I am low enough in the draft and if the draft class is loaded enough, rarely happens tho), so I maxed out my investment (yet still missed two 5 ball players, including the only 18 year old 5 ball potential player who fell to a bot in round 2, if I had that 6 points I'm pretty sure I'd get him).

But luckily it was only implement in the new season so I am able to sleep peacefully at night now xD

That said I really welcome this. I'll go back to investing in 2 points (and it's cheaper?), but now I can rest assured that if I need a late season boost in scouting points again I can always push it up to 6.
