In the USA drafted players range from 19-22.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

but 19-22 wouldn't be good here in buzzerbeater.. I think they should all be 18 or 19, and not show the age to anyone...

If this is supposed to replicate real basketball, then you need the proper age range.

For ages couldn't it range from 18-30 because in the NBA a player like Fabrico Oberto from the Spurs was drafted when he was 30. Many European league players get drafted at older ages. The upside to this is the older players will have more experience and skill while the downside is those players will be on your team for immediate impact and not for the future.

With the paucity of young players (and no youth pull system), having to draft 30 year olds would seriously suck.

based on hattrick knowledge and the vast difference in training 18 year olds to 22 year olds;
it would suck to draft a 22 year old

Part of the deal is to make the teams with less talent better, and to pull the best teams back a bit, that's basically the concept of a draft.

I don't see how giving a team a bad player pulls the already good team back?

My view on the draft is that it gives the bad teams a couple of really good players and gives the top teams a couple of bad players.

The bad players do not have to be untrainable as well as having bad stats.

I think you should be able to see the age of the players without having to scout them. Age is basic info that anyone would know.

The problem is that if we give the age, people will be able to share information with those that have not done any scouting. Any ideas how we could prevent this?



How about for people who haven't scouted, they see an age range. Like 18-20 or 20-22.
