Direct trading will not be implemented in BB.

i would like to see a change to the draft also.

i have an idea which has been rolling around in my brain for a while.

i think if we made the draft real time, as in we draft the players ourselves, and make a lottery system for the 4 relegated teams that would improve it a lot.

i also think they should add a fourth staff member. the scout, maybe not 7 levels like we have now but a few levels atleast.
a level 1 scout would say travel greyhound ( public bus) and a level 4 would travel by air and go the the" major" colleges.

to put some managers effort into the draft, make it to where your scout, will give you info but it's available for a limited time only and near the end of the season a quick recap of what he did, but without the full info, this would give managers who put a lot of time into their teams an advantage but that should be a part of the game.

so those are my ideas, some may be good some not, but this is the suggestion forum.

i think a better draft would bring more people into the game, and add a new element to those who have been here since season 1.

i know it would be difficult to change the draft system to make it as fair as you can but i also think the current draft is pretty boring.

I tottally agree about the fourth member of the staff. A player that spent $10.000 on weekly search will now hire a level 3 ($10.000 salary) scout...

why not auction them then?

I am still in favor of removing the third round of the draft. Less players would allow better scouting, raise the value of average rookies and due to this counter inflation.

What about the Scout? The fourth member of the staff...

So many replays on this "stupid" topic... njaaaaaaah I wrote so many topic and just few replays :(
Sad but true... smrc, smrc... :'(

Why not have the third scouting opportunity as a draftee training camp. A one off opportunity just prior to the draft. Teams might have to pay extra (travel costs??)

It would be the chance to include the extra info suggested in the forum so far...

In what realistic universe can we not know the players age, height and position? Scouting is always a bit of a hit and miss business. Kwame Brown? Darko Milicic? But some things are just too obvious. We want a clear and easy system. Why is everyone so afraid of collusion on this? You think real teams don't swap scouting information? It is still hit and miss.

normally heigth is really a unknown factor in basketball, there are so mayny player who get extra 10 cm in their player pass ;)

Position especially in the yyouth teams is at least in germany, very often far from reality because in lower competition players the good players often had to play on other positions maybe because a SG could bring the ball better then his teammates, a SF in an undersized teym play PF/C because of his body ...

But why you don't get this infos here, is an ingame decision so that you don't share your scouting informations with other players and get an advantage through it without paying money.

Freshman at Villanova said he was 19, but may actually be as old as 25. Apparently it happens in real life too...
