I guess there's still time for Dnipros to commit. But if they don't and if we get a good result in week 4, my players' morale should be sky-high when we play Dnipros in week 6.

But, in any event, great to see Dnipros in Galaxy this year!

Send him a PM in ukrainian with the shortcut to the MediaCenter.
That is how i did it every time because he forgets. I tried to explain it to him, but i don't know how much he understood.
Good luck

Does anyone else enjoy the draft? It's one of my favourite parts of the game - even though it's harder to pick up talent as your roster gets better and your picks get 'worse'.

Must be really tough for 1,000+ elo teams. I guess the draft gets less fun then?

For many seasons I just sort be rating desc, and push K and P to the bottom - Draft setup done. Usually, 2 out of 3 draftees can stay with the team. But that's me only, lazy as one can be - in regards of managing my team.

I like downloading the prospects to a spreadsheet and running some figures - but your method probably gives results at least as good.

I doubt that this laziness pays off. I do not scout, know nothing about players, traits and so on. I do not care about age, experience, talent. Just rating. With all the flaws that come with it. I will miss the true gems this way, for sure.

I am quite a fan. I have already suggested some "improvements" but Pete turned all down.

I used to post some reviews about the draft class and other things when I was playing in Dragons. But now I do not have enough time for such work. For this draft I have only scouted the 19 yo players and selected the best prospects. For 2nd round I will probably pick based on age, position and rate. Round 3 will be completely random as I have seed 27 or 28.

And you are right: the draft "quality" decreases with time as our teams get better. But this is still fun for me.

Did you write reviews after the draft or before? And what was your best improvement suggestion, do you think?

I too go down the spreadsheet and comparison method. I try and compare how then will do in a few years and compare that to my current team. I am sure that lots of effort is wasted, but I enjoy it all the same.



The only thing that I wonder about is whether the BOT teams need to actually pick as whoever they s e l e c t is thrown away, that said, last year I got my 1st and 5th choices and the year prior it was 1st, 17th and 19th so no complaints there!
