P.S: only drawback i can think of...if some teams in the same league, exchange info on the drafts skills.... (but even with that threat, the role of drafts will be enhanced, and more people might get involved spending money on scouting rather than considering the drafts a useless feature of the game...)


You already pointed out the flaw to this idea.

Its one of the biggest drawbacks and it enables collusion between teams where one team do all the scouting and just shares the information with other teams. I believe this is the reason why the draft is currently done the way it is.

Suggestion: when someone performs a SCOUTING COMBINE option... wouldnt be nice to be able to find out the drafts' Names as well ???


this would make it even easier to work in teams for a draft, because you know for 100% which player is scouted by "your teammate".

2.drafting will also become more important, since it will also provide some(not accurate always) information on young players that might end on another team!!!!


yes that is something i like to see too, that i could compare my list with the current draft. But for this could be enough when you still could look at your draftlist after the draft and then give the names or the number when they are picked on this site.

I do not get the downside with sharing info, at all. It is already there, with the height sand preferred position of the players.

He's right. Imagine all those China farm teams sharing info. " Cold Shudder"

Right is not a popularity contest!

He's right indeed. Say that Player 28 is a 5 star potential player, his real name is Abu Abu.

If collusion is a concern, consider this in the argument:
"It won't take much effort for someone to say 'Player 28' has 5 star potential than to say 'Abu Abu' has 5 star potential"

As the VIP said "player 28"is different for everyone. However the only 4 ball 6'1" 19 year old SG is just as unique as Abu Abu but much much harder to say.

but they are always some double match, so that you need at least to draft 'em once to be sure that it is Player X and not Y. Even when i was surprised that they show the high that specific after the change.
