The reason we removed the random picking of botteams to this system, is that teams in a league with lets say 14 botteams got too much of an advantage above other players. They could and win most games, and pick the best talents. If you are in a league with that many botteams it will certainly be somewhat harder to get the best talents, but for most managers (there are few leagues with that many botteams) you won't see much of a change.

I don't want to discuss about the new system but I want to say that is not acceptable to have a big difference among II.1 - II.2 - II.3 - II.4; I mean that in our division the best player drafted is an 8k salary with potential 8, in another division the best player drafted is an 3k salary with potential lvl 6. To be fair the system must have more or less the same players.

To be honest, how many players with 8k salary and potential 8 do you see??? That's the dumbest comparison I have seen yet. Nomatter which league get's that guy, it's probably better draft than 99% of drafts around the world anyway. Are we talking about potentials here? There are decent players with lower salary aswell. You don't have do draft that 3k pot6 guy, why not take that 5k pot 4-5 guy?
You agreed with this division equality. So should all div2-s be equal. Or just in one country. What about all div4-s? There are 64 of those, or don't you care about nothing else but upper levels. What you fail to understand that draft is a big pool with junks randomly taken from there. Yes there is a chance that one draft get's more from the upper latter of the pool and some drafts get more from the lower latter of the pool. That's what random is about. It would be really boring if every draft had 2 decent players and were clones of eachother.

The difference in the draft lists among different leagues in far too big. And I am not talking about the best one or two players.

i'm one of those that think that the quality of top prospects in draft pools is too much different from one pool to another.
i understand what random means and i'm not bitching: i just happen to have a different idea than yours.

There were around 100 All-time great talents placed on human teams in the draft this year amongst 14778 leagues. Even if things were spread out as evenly as possible, fewer than half of the leagues could receive a player better than superstar.

I understand the desire to equalize draft pools. There might be some debate as to whether it's a good thing to do, but regardless I don't think I see a way it might be accomplished. What would you suggest be done?

For that matter, as has been pointed out several times by people trying to convince us to go to a system more like the present one, you didn't really have to have scouted LeBron to know that he was at the top of his draft class. In fact, under the current system if you discover such a talented player in your draft pool, you will even be able to estimate pretty well where he'll go in the draft order and plan accordingly.

And a Q for the BB's: Can you give a rough estimate in terms of weeks on how long it will be before this new draft is available.

You agreed with this division equality.
