If the scouting system now does last 14 weeks, what I'm proposing (and I have no idea if this is possible within the GE, but I will assume it is) is that we want to keep the amount of players scouted roughly the same and we want a probability of missing a great player, or getting a great player late in the draft the same as it is now too. This system is more about interaction throughout the season.

When I said you scout SG for 4-5 weeks until you have 8-10 scouted, that doesn't mean that's every SG. There wouldn't even be a way to scout every SG, because as in life, there's a chance a player is in a small town you never heard of, or a player declares for the draft last minute. So even if you just scout SG for 14 weeks, (which would not be wise) you'd only end up with 11 out of the 13 SG in the draft. (or 11 out of who knows how many)

Since there's only 14 weeks, you have the option to scout all positions once around and maybe get single reports on at most 75% of players in the draft, or you focus on one or two positions and you'd scout some of them twice. Either way, this leaves plenty of players unscouted and keeps your probability of missing a great player close to where it is now.

I hope this is more clear, because it certainly isn't more concise. Thoughts?

I don't mind the current system, I just wish I could get my list and then choose who to scout twice...I scouted a one star PG twice..That would never happen..He sucks..I mean he got an "F" rating. Why would my team have asked him back for another work out? Waste of money... Peace

which gives you lot better view from the draft in investing fewer money, is that a motivation in a system very few people take the expensiv options.

What I was trying to say is this. I had a 5 start C who I didn't ask back for a second workout but I asked back a one star PG.. I think I should get to choose who comes back for the second workout. It would make me spend more on scouting. peace

i understand it the first time what you mean ;)

I like how the draft is, but I have an issue with the numbering system. Instead of names we are given numbers, but after the draft day the numbers disappear. I want to know if this first person I placed on the draft sheet... lets say number 45... was the first person I drafted. Without the numbers, I don't really know if I planned the draft well. I can make good assumptions about my first pick, but after the 2nd and 3rd one... well, I can really lose track of my draft order if I don't have the numbers. I think this can be easily be fixed.

For example, Bob Smith #45 was picked 11th in the first round... pretty simple.

draft list edit page could be visible for a one week after drafts, so everyone could compare information given before drafts with players they got as the result...

I can see my draft edit page, but not the draft edit page of others... that still doesn't help me.

Nobody can see the draft edit page of other teams, only their own draft page

Well ZyZla said

It is really hard to ask other managers for their draft edit page, some managers don't even know how to edit their draft orders. If BB kept the draft edit numbers up with the players names, things would be a whole lot simpler, especially if you want to know if you had a good draft.

Well, probably they don't want it just to avoid people to compare their drafts. If you have a name but not information at all about a player and other guy has the full information about this player and tells you, you both will take advantage from other users.
Don't think it's a good idea
