the Live Draft could be done for everybody, after the offseason is done processing (including the draft). The processing of the draft would be already done, only to be announced to everybody later. (the same way the games are processed 15min before they are actually shown to us). I think this would be an excellent idea.

What would a live draft be other than a parade of names and salaries?

We don't know the ratings of the players our opponents' receive, so other than our own three draftees, where is the conclusion to this drama?

Sounds like a snore fest to me.

BB could reviele the stats of the players before the 'live' draft starts ;)

I love the idear. And i dont mind to wait for this to happen. I totally understand other priorities need to be done/fixed.

I Hope this suggestion wil make it.

Hear, hear! The system works fine as it is!

And I wouldn't like the ridicule of having to watch a pre-set staged "live" draft event before being able to view my new players, as Calum proposes.

Possibly you could save the draft like you can with a game (box score) with supporter. So that when you sign on after the draft has happened, you dont find out the results of it until you 'watch' it which can be many days after the actual event. This would avoid the server use and it could possibly be a supporter only feature.

well, nobody would be forced to watch it...

But it would be cool for some of us.

Absolutely not. You have no business knowing the skill levels of my players unless they are on the TL. Or I tell you. Which isn't going to happen.

Maybe the draft could be moved. Right now the draft happens and all the teams are immediately dispersed.

If you held it at the end of the regular season, then the draftees could be discussed during the playoffs. They could be just like late transfers who aren't playoff eligible. Set them to be 17 and 18 YO, and they can age a couple of weeks later.

I can see the point you're trying to make. But i also think you dont have to make a big deal out of that. Does it really matter if i know you drafted a 4 times respectable player, who will be a diffrent player after a couple of weeks/months training? You think all your oppenents will remember all the details of your player, or think how your ratings gonna be the next time they play against you?

And irl i also knew you drafted a Lebron...

This suggestion just makes it more fun and im willing to give some insight info away to make it happen.

I wouldn't reveal the skills of drafted players, the "LIVE show" would only show the skills of your drafted players and the numbers/ rough skills of other players that you scouted.
But the live draft would be interesting only for "What if someone took my favourite draftee".
