Thanks man, does each league gets its own draft or is it 1 big draft for all leagues? And if each league has its own do the higher league drafts generate better prospects or can u draft a future great in lower league drafts?

Cheers

I agree with the original poster that the draft system could be a little more interesting.

As to the posters that say the draft is garbage and just buy transfer listed players, you have to realize that (except for new teams) ALL PLAYERS were drafted. The quality between the transfer list and the draft is the same ON AVERAGE. Your individual pool has a random selection which mimics the general population within 1.33 standard deviations most likely (standard bell curve). Some pools are on the higher end of the average, and some are on lower. Random luck is a factor.

I feel that at higher levels it may be better to buy transfer listed players, because everyone has had a full season to view players. At lower levels, with more bots and new teams, it is probably better to scout on average. I drafted 3 quality players in my first draft, due to some luck and a tiny bit of preparation in Div V (all 3 players in my personal top 10).

I digress. More customization would be welcome, but the system isn't totally broke as some would make it out to be.

Except that you are comepletely wrong that ALL PLAYERS are drafted. Every team starts with 15 players, so the vast majority of players are not drafted at all. Every team was new once and every team started with 15 players.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

However, almost all of the best players in BB were drafted at one time. If you draft a player, you have the longest time possible to train them (if they're 18).

Be grateful this isn't a baseball sim - you wouldn't know half the ages on your roster.


As a silly reply I'll say :
We would if this is CSFBL, a baseball sim.

Here is your quote...

Except that you are comepletely wrong that ALL PLAYERS are drafted. Every team starts with 15 players, so the vast majority of players are not drafted at all. Every team was new once and every team started with 15 players.

Here is what I said...

you have to realize that (except for new teams) ALL PLAYERS were drafted.

Reading comprehension is very low here (not to mention the spelling is comepletely terrible). Do we have non-english forum members or just attract a certain breed?

My point was that the majority of TRAINABLE players received on the market were drafted. You can try to refute that, but I am confident the statistics would be on my side here.

It can be, but I've had a lot of talent come to my team through the draft that I would not have been able to purchase on the market.

One of my best players, a defensive specialist, (5654515), came to me through the draft because of my scouting. Especially now that you can search the market by potential (you couldn't before, which made it easier to find bargains like Carl Glodowski on my roster), a Hall-of-Famer will certainly cost more than the cost to your scouting department. Then again, I should probably tell everyone not to scout so I will get the best players!
