I think the CSV for supporters is the biggest thing. Imagine try to look over all the players without excel... I can see why he would be frustrated.

I am not here to be responsible for frustration. And I stay true to the promise "supporters have no ingame advantages". That means, Supporters can save time, while non-supporters might have to enter tedious tasks. If someone calls me "greedy", I can deal with this very well, since it is not true at all. However, I won't change a single piece on this tactic.

On strategy

The last 3 draftpicks I have picked by need and future development of the team.

Got an FB and an OL in the 2 first rounds this season - both #1 picks for their respective rounds.

I should be drafting a QB in the last round but the quality of what is left is simply to poor. I will have to go to the market to solve that problem.

Yes it is a little bit tedious, but if you are willing to pay, you have to earn some advantages, and since there is no "ingame advantage" for having a supporter account, I guess it is right to let the system as it is

I think its a perfectly reasonable supporter feature, but I also can see how it would be frustrating to do it "old school." On the whole I think Pete does a much better job than most online games at keeping the supporter features non-competitive advantages.

Oh yes, totally true. There are not many online games that are true not-pay-to-win games.

i just went through the origins of my players. i currently have 65 players on my senior team. 52 of them (80%) are homegrown coming to my team by draft and YA as well as one hanger on from my original team.

Lakefield Vikings
Draft 26
YA 25
Original 1

Other Team's
Draft 6
YA 5
Free Agent 2

I was wondering if i was drafting well and if any one else tracks this. i have been making an effort to build my team from within only going to the TM to fill glaring holes in my line up.

Wrong, this is the version from 1987...

A few people have convinced me of the benefits of the current system. It wasn't what I expected but I'm excited to have it for next season.
