It is definitely being implemented this season.

You are missing the point. The point is that there are many circumstances where it would be beneficial to tank to get the number 1 draft pick. I am not talking about the best team in that league tanking, I'm talking about one of the teams that may normally come 5th to 8th. Also, as I said before, this may be a good tactic for teams that are in the bottom league, or teams that are in a high league but know that it will be too tough to compete this season so they tank for the draft pick and spend a season in the lower division before coming back up to try again.

You say you need a training spot for him, however if he is a great draftee then this isn't really a problem. You just sell your worst trainee. And you say it will be hard to compete still, but the point is that you have just relegated, so probably have more money and a better team than almost all of the teams in your new league, so it shouldn't be a problem to train 1 more rookie. And if you think it is, then train him in scrimmages and easy cup games.

I'm obviously not saying I have seen all A+ players, but I have seen hundreds of players that have a higher salary than that. And I have seen half a dozen players that have had A+ ratings and all of those were over 5k salary and 2 were over 6k salary.
I'm sure anyone here would agree that the skills of that player are on the lower end of what you can get with an A+ player.

When did we get the new draft list?

So what exactly has changed from before? If you are a weak team you might end up at 8-th anyway. Would it sometimes be better to be taking 8-th spot instead 7-th spot? Yes. But there will never be problems with all teams starting to tank all of the sudden. If lower end teams want to tank, so be it. Perhaps there is more than one tanker. That screws it up for the tank attempt teams anyway.
New draft system gives you more options. I'm convinced it's a lot better than it was before.

he doesn't says that it become "normal", but this become a option because you could see the gain better then before.

And naker used this as an example, why picking before the Camp could be useful(when you are going to use it).

TYVM for the one ball rating gents! =P

All i was wondering is that if i'm investing 40k a week (like I am right now) will I be forced to get the 'points' to review players under the new system.

If so I'd rather jus put it at no scounting for now if the new draft system was coming in really late. Since I'm a gambler by nature, I'd prob take random pot shots at scouting players. If i find 3 awesome players fast, then I wouldn't need all the points. Depending on when the new draft system was out.

BAH!

it comes this season, and you start with the scouting points you paid for since the beginning of the last PO

Remember to use those points depending your draft position. If a lot of teams do not invest in scouting they will use suggested draft order. If teams start scouting, it's really hard to know which guys you can get etc.

there is a problem: how to find out if your series teams invest in draft?

You can check the league average, see how much teams are spending. This is the only info you can get, why should you get any more info?

now i cant wait for it to come out :P haha

even though I am not spending alot on it since I will have a bad pick.
