The only reason I got addicted to this game is because I got a NT potential draftee in my first season of playing.

You can't say people in lower devisions don't know how to train- it's definetly not rocket science and is very easy to learn. We've all been in lower devisions (or at least most of us) and the reason a lot of people have continued playing this game is because we got a good draftee early on and we wanted to see him grow and improve so some day he'll be a great whole player.

I'm not even talking about balance and giving tools to young teams in order so they could get better and promote to higher devisions, if you'll hurt the draftees of young teams in lower devisions you are severely hurting their playing experience and dramaticly reducing their chances of continuing playing this game.

Agreed...And I also agree with the premise that the draft as it is now, is a waste of data space. I would be in favor of anything to make the draft more relevant.

In the event the amount of support for any particular ideas leads to changes in the game, I completely agree that the draft should provide a higher % of useable trainees.

I really like yodabig's suggestion. In fact, this might completely solve the problem (at least how I see it). We don't need to flood the game with MVPs/HOFs/ATGs. But we do need more all-stars and perennial all-stars in the draft, and less 1 ball potential players.

I could also really support thylacine's suggestion #3 (increasing the skill level, on average, of 19 year olds)

Hi,
I was wondering about another different way to decrease the amount of useless draft picks :
Are drafted only players who are at least scouted once.
Only managers who spend their scouting points get draft picks.

It wont change the challenge of finding a high potential out of the other draft applicants. Bots won't get draftees (and no more 18 yo 4k HoF in a bot's roster). Low potential players or low skilled ones won't be drafted that often neither.

Do you think this could be implemented ? It shouldn't need much changes in GE i guess ...
Cheers
