I wish I knew what point it makes a difference in terms of physicals. What I mean is a difference of a player with 49 speed vs 50 speed a significant difference? 48 to 50? Obviously a higher number is better but what is the breaking point I wonder.....

I suppose to be more specific here is an example:
say a wr has speed of 49 and catches the ball on the 45 while the CB has a speed of 50 and is 5 yards behind. Is that difference of 1 too much to catch up? How many yards could you go before you are caught. I suppose if I was able to think about it terms like this it would be easier to know. However I also understand not knowing exactly is what can create more diversity in player creating. |

Man, this is from 13 ys ago
As far as I remember I was starting with the record of the 40 yds dash and made the assumption this would be 100%. From that, I started introducing speed into the engine, and adjusted from that. 100% speed of a Lineman is different from 100% speed of a safety, as example. |

That raises two more questions:
1) On a special team are a 50 Speed DE and 50 Speed SF having the same speed 2) Is there a dependency on Strength? Is a higher strength making a player slower? |

Not my first draft, and since the last turned out not that bad I guess I did something right, but:
The Manual as well as Jack6 tell me that I have to set the whole board which I want to do now. But I do not understand: Do I set my favorites at #1, #2, #3 and so on, so my order reflects the draft how ->I<- would pick from #1 to #96? Or do I set them at the positions where I'm about pick, which would mean that I push all the draftees that I estimate would be picked higher above that? Last edited on 2022-11-20 13:41:43 by Chrill |

Set them up in the order you want to pick them. It is like this: When it is your turn to pick. You pick the first player on your list that hasn't been already picked.
