I spent 5k per week and my scouts found 4 five star A+ players.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

That's great for you but those players really have no value with bench-warmer potential, do they?

Will someone please...PLEASE...improve the whole draft process? Right now it couldn't be more boring and frustrating even if it tried.

It could. You could just get a random bunch of 3 players at the start of the season, with no warning as to how good they are. Or you could get 1 guy, and that's it! Or every rookie could be the same in terms of skills. Or....

You get the idea.

That's actually not really very different from what happens, considering that naything below 5 stars is generally rubbish, and the 5 star players can vary between a guy that is wirth 5k and a guy that is worth 2 million.

Or you could get 1 guy, and that's it!

Considering the value of the guys in the second round, that's pretty much the case for 90% of the teams (although I am NOT saying that all three players should be good...not at all...it's just that unless you play in a division filled with bots, the guys in the 2nd and 3rd round have a 0% chance of becoming good players).

Or every rookie could be the same in terms of skills. Or....

Yeah...I do..but if those are the lows we have to go to to find something more boring, then what we have now must be all that great huh?

My problem isn't so much with the actual draft, it's the scouting that is just terrible. You do nothing all year and then you see that your scouts have gone to see a 2* player 2 times and a 5* star one 0 times.

well, i do not think the draft needs more talent. a 2nd round pick shouldn't be to good, an a low 1st round pick should be better than a late 1st roundpick (to equal the strenght of teams a little). so you can't complain about the talent in the draft.
to the people complaining about the scouting, if your scout would only scout 5 star players and then 4 starplayers twice, nearly no one would have to invest more then 10k a week. with 10k scouting a week im seeing 6 5 star players and 9 4 star players, so the scout would have scouted 6 5 starplayers and 5 4star players twice(a total of 11), if he only would go for high star players. this would be WAY to good for 10k a week. (6 of 11 second scouting reports were an 5 and 4 star players, maybe i was lucky, but lets say, 5 of 11, that's less then 50 percent, should be normal) you could improve your chances by more investments. so, that's fine for me.

When a scout goes out to watch a game he decides whether or not the player is worth scouting again. If he believes player X is a 1 or 2 star player then why would he go see him again.

Blake Griffin you go and watch twice. His brother Tyler is a fine payer but i don't think you need to see him a second time. That is the point most people are getting at.

If you put in 10k a week that is for 28 players. so they should scout 20 players give or take and then with the 8 reaming trips go over the 8 players that you think will have a chance to improve my ream.

I hate the fact that my staff scouted some 2 and 3 star players a second time and i have three 5 star players that i know nothing about except how they played 1 random night. At least give me their average stats instead of a random night if this is going to be the system used.

You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when youre sittin at the table. Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.

I agree with this in general, but specifically the thing I dislike the most about it is that I had absolutely no control over the process. If I had told my scout to see a certain guy, twice, and he turned out to be a bad player, than at least I would have myself to blame. Here, it's completely the other way around.

IMO, it would be much better if (maybe at the beginning of the season, or as the season goes along) we were first shown the stat line of a player in a game, and then we decided who to go see, depending on how much money we spent that week. That way there would be a weekly involvement in the scouting process, and we could decide who to see a second or third or whatever time.

The worst thing about the system, once again, is not the final result, it's how we get there...by basically not doing anything all season, and just taking 2 minutes to order the players the scouts went and saw.
