I read that at the allstar break there would be a combine and the draft tool will be available. I dont see the draft link yet.

Does anyone have info on this?

no, it isn't avaible yet and they release it now was just a rumour and the All star break is the earliest date where you could make the combine(i believe you could make it even some weeks later every season)

I'm sure any rumors are based on the 6/30/2010 12:30:59 AM news post from BB-Edju:

"At the start of each season (for Season 13, later in the season) the draft page will be available with a set of baseline rankings."
-snip-
"'In addition, there will be a "scouting combine" at the allstar break, where every player in the upcoming draft class will show up to be measured."'

So the draft was supposed to be delayed in S13, but the combine was to be at allstar break. If that is true then both should have already been available. A future allstar break was not specified. Since this one has come and gone, it now stands to reason he must have been referring to future allstar breaks, and that the post was just poorly worded.

You can spend 10 points at any point after the allstar break to send a scout to the combine to learn the ages and heights for all 48 players in the upcoming draft class. Scouting points may be spent at any moment until the draft is run, but cannot be carried over into the next season


thats the next few lines.

whos to say the scouting combine didnt already happen , as i understand it we have no input during the combine anyway, its not until after the allstar break that we can send a scout.

the only deadline i believe to be in place is that we will be able to do all of this before end of season.

if not ill be pissed as ive put a good amount of money into scouting this season

i think the quote you provided is worded perfectly:

"At the start of each season (for Season 13, later in the season) the draft page will be available with a set of baseline rankings."

from there on out, everything regarding the system is about how it will work in future seasons, including the allstar break combine.

patience, my friends.

The limitation to future seasons may have been vaguely implied, but was not specified in the remainder of the post. The aforementioned quote advised that the draft page would be available later than the start of the season. This is not incompatible with the understanding that allstar break reference included this season. This is further confused by the fact that changes impacting present and future seasons were discussed. You may feel that sufficient context was provided, but I respectfully disagree that it was perfectly worded. I do agree that patience is needed. The seasons pass by rather quickly.

So when do we actually use the scounting points? It says we can use the scounting points we get every week to blah blah blah.....there should at least be an update on the draft system to tell us what's going to happen...

Theres not really much point asking about the draft. I'm sure when it is ready it will be announced, anything else is speculation.

You don't miss out on using scouting points. Lets say you have been spending 10k a week on scouting so far. I think it has been about 7 weeks so far. That means you have 14 scouting points. Once the system is released you can use all 14 scouting points straight away. So no harm in releasing it later this season.
