make the Draft a little more interesting. Everyone is really VERY excited about the draft. so i believe many people would love to watch the draft live.

Give the users time to do their draft settings until one day before draft. then give the players names instead of just numbers on the users draft setting page. Make a link to the players page, just like the normal page when u look at an oppennents teams. So everyone can see the name, height, pos, salary of the player.
Now everyone sees how successful his scouting was. Did he miss many good players and so on.
Then the draft starts, everyone is able to visit the draft, just like watching a game live. The managers will get excited: "will I get one of my favorite players?".

It would be a VERY NICE feature. Dont know but maybe something like this is possible...



the only disadvantage woul be that u might know one of the best skills of a player from your oppenent. Does it help u, when u know your oppenent has respectable in rebounding... I dont think so. U know nothing about all the others skills. u dont know the weaknesses which would be a lot more important and probably 1 month later the skills of the player has improved that its not even true anymore.
And Secondly, hey isnt this realistic??? Spending 1 Season a lot on scouting, on draft day u know the best skill and one day later u forgot which player this was^^

Any system where the skills of specific players can be shared while it's still possible to adjust the draft order simply will not happen.

ok my english is not good but I have tried to say:
Give the users time to do their draft settings until one day before draft. then after that give the players names instead of just numbers on the users draft setting page.

so
users are able to change their draft settings until one day before draft => the possibility to change draft order ends => now the names are added to the page where u see your draft order => users have got 1 day to see players name, height, salary etc., but are not anymore able to change their settings => users can visit draft

i agree with that. But if the deadline to order the draft order passed then the links could appear and the draft could be seen live as a ragular game.

That part of it I'd be fine with, though I don't know how resource-intensive that would be.

So i believe this kind of feature would be well accepted by the comunitty

No doubt about it.

Just the feasibiliry of such a feature is the remaining question.

it might be server heavy to have drafts all over the world at the same time, but then again, since at the time of the draft you cannot change anything anymore, and viewing the draft live would not give you any advantage versus other teams, it could be a supporter feature.
I bet if BB makes it a supporter feature they might get a lot more supporters too. And the feature complies with the description of a Supporter feature. Ofcourse it would be best if all users could log on to the live draft, but just in case it would be too server-heavy...

I bet Mark now loves you.
