Why not let the computer decide which players should participate to the game among the active players only ?

Why not let the computer decide which players should participate to the game among the active players only ?

Too many leagues are entirely bot, or mostly bot, or have teams that go bot, or assigned new owners and players.

Letting active managers nominate more players, and also giving them some role in voting for the players, and perhaps giving more influence to teams with more fans will tend to skew the results toward the more active teams, but will still work OK if few or even no owners participate.

I've also thought about the players' problem, but there's a lot of players to choose. How many votes should BB give to the users? 8/10? And will them vote for their own players only? If yes.....there'll have a lot of players that get 1 vote......After that, the server still need to set a rule to choose who will be the top 10.......it will make a heavy work load to the server, so I've given up this idea, but i still have a dream that all the players can be chosen by the coach ;P

there should be done that users could vote just for other teams players... can`t vote for his own players... that would be fair...

My idea is that the All Star voting woud somewhat simulate real All Star voting, where the teams often have ballot stuffing nights. So if you drew good crowds, your players would get some more votes.

I could see a couple of ways to involve individual teams more. Before all star voting began, each team could nominate five players (probably one per position). Bots would have 3 players nominated. These players would be placed on the "fans" ballot, and would accumulate votes related to how these players perform each week.

When you played another team, you could perhaps rate 3 of the opposing team's players. This would cause the "fans" to vote more for these players. It will also encourage owners to notice particularly good players in the conference.

And then I'd have one owner be the coach for each conference's team. He would have to use the 5 players that were named starters, but then he might be able to choose either the 2nd or 3rd place player in the fan voting, without being able to see their skills, and then maybe choose 2 others. He'd also be able to set the depth charts.

In some leagues, their might be discussion in the league forum about which players to pick.
