There were some discussions before: Having a draft more unbalanced Draft, like today, but resort possibility Resorting the draftboard after the first round would give more active (=good teams) an advantage. It is up to you to sort your draft board in the way, that you will have the best possible outcome for your team. How do you define a draft bust? Is a drafted RB with capped Speed at 41 a bust? Why do you want to draft worse players in a 4th round? Trading draft picks would be to complicated, because of evaluation issues. Had a look at your link and to be fair , most were in favour of spreading it out. Re - active players getting an advantage. Noted but if you have your draft board sorted beforehand, you shouldn't need too many tweaks to it between days other than probably downgrading positions you've drafted. 2 days between as Pete suggested (Mon, Wed, Fri) would be more than enough time. Personally I'd like it spread out over 3 weeks just to give something for teams not in the play-offs something to do but failing that the Mon, Wed, Fri sounds good. Would definitely add loads of interest and anticipation to later rounds. |

One other suggestion to the draft. Even if you are keeping it at 3 rounds - maybe think about adding some more players with the leftovers deleted at the end.
The 96th pick in the draft should still be a pick and not you just have whats left. Seems a bit unfair teams are left with a punter when they may have been left with one last year as well. Maybe bump it up to 100 players with a max of 2 kickers and 2 punters. The extra 4 bods can be slightly under-powered. So you have the choice of taking a Kicker if you want or a bottom of the pile player in another position. |

So you have the choice of taking a Kicker if you want or a bottom of the pile player in another position. Totally disagree with this. Having 100 players to draft but only 96 picks by managers will confuse the hell out of newer managers who already struggle with the mechanics and nuances of the draft board. Also, your assumption that the bottom of the draft board is only unwanted Kickers and Punters is not borne out by what actually happens.Last year I picked at No.29,61 & 93, even if I wanted a Kicker or Punter I would have struggled to get one as they went at No.4 (kicker),No.11 (Punter),No.14(Punter) etc ....the lowest pick was a Kicker at 71, so if I wanted a Kicker/Punter with my 3rd round pick I wouldn't have even got close...and the player I got at 93 was alot higher quality than I could've hoped for with a 93rd pick. I think that the picking strategies by managers are very diverse. When you take into account the number of Bots in some 2.1/2.2 divisions, plus the inexperience of some managers in 2.1/2.2 it means that the actual picks will be far different to what most people would expect. Even in the 1.1 divisions there are still Bots and the picking abilities of Bots is obviously questionable at best. I've just revisited my draft for last season and I think it's fair to say that apart from the only QB in the draft going at No.1, almost everything else about the picking is way more varied than anyone would expect. I just don't see the need to artificially "spice up" the bottom of the draft. It seems to work well in the NFL and in RZA too, why complicate it if it isn't necessary. |

Also it intended to use the youth academy to fill the roster.
The math (just high level) Players coming to teams in average: 20 years old Players start to retire: 30 years old Means about 10 years of service. You get 3 players per draft -> 30 players in 10 years. Not enough to fill all spots. Add 6 spots per year for youngsters -> 60 players from YA. Not all will be very good. So there is room to fill gaps from the transfermarket. Adding drafties or even rounds will chance this math. |

The idea wasn't so much about Ps and Ks, more about actually having a pick if you pick last as opposed to being forced to take the last player left. Not a good example to compare to the NFL. The team who picks last in the NFL draft has hundreds of players to choose from with the last pick of the draft and again hundreds of players are left undrafted. Anyway not too fussed about this one (the spreading out of the draft was my main suggestion) as its not something I need to worry for a while. Still think it would be good to have though. It wont change the maths in terms of how many players you have who are drafted - its still 3 a year. Last edited on 2012-04-22 20:28:20 by mikemike778 |

I am new to this and I haven't enjoyed the adventure of scoring beyond the first quarter, winning or enjoying the draft as yet but one of the things which is great about this game is that if you're the best in the league you get what no one else picks. Next season I would give up a choice in the 3rd round of the draft for a bowl win anytime.
I do like the idea of spreading the draft over a few days though that way you can see what you have got and evaluate from there. Maybe Sunday before the draft the financial and training updates can be doubled so that the midweek u p d a t e is only a back up of the server? I'm a pen pusher no techy genius so I'm not sure what's involved in these updates. |

I like pretty much any idea on a spread draft.... does well so you can restructure your order.

Yeah I love the idea of the draft being spread out over a few days so that you can pick players based on what you picked in earlier rounds too.
I also like the idea of having more than 96 players available so that the last team still gets a choice, even if the added players are worse than other draftees as has been suggested. |

As long as i have to scout 96 Players player for player i am against more of them in the Draft.
If we find a way of "scouting" all of the Draftees at once i would like to have 1000 of them in one draft so i can widen my Excel Sheeds 
If we have more rounds there should be "Draftbust" implemented, cause if you get 7 players (7 Rounds) and all of them are developing like expected you don´t need a Transfermarket or an YA. Hm like the discussion bevor last years draft i am still pretty unsure of having a multiple day draft, not everyone could be around on the draftdays so i am quite unsure if its "fair" to those managers who only could log in once or twice a week (witch is enought to play here). |
