3) I'm not sure it will change any...
On which case one will change a pick he had done?
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see it changing any of the order of draft picks I've already set.

drafting for your own team, isn't that was the game all about for you? In this case you would prioritize a guy who fit to your first pick, with your second pick since it is hard to train a 2.20 C with an 1.80 G.

Yes, it is a main feature of this game for me (unlike the eBay-TL, which is the only relevant feature for you).
I agree that it has some meaning, but not that much.
I guess most of the users will be happy to get as many good draft picks as they can, and prepare the list upon that.
As one has no knowledge about enough players in the draft, it has very low chance that one will have three great prospects so when he get the first he will prefer having the second and not the third.

But, again, it is not a feature that I don't like (as I've written), and hence I do not object to that.
Just don't believe it will do much good (at least the great majority of the time).

sure i play this game for two relevant transfer each season ;)

I like training too, but i don't have to draft them since i like my trainees more perfect for my team.

So please stoip those remarks on that, since they are annoying and offending

Would be funny to watch:

At number five, the Winkleman Musketeers pick DeCharles Smith, a product of Little Heaven Baptist HS!

Maybe not. 95% of the draftees are junk data anyway, so why celebrate their creation anyway?

Unfortunately any aspect of this game will not move to a live format, ever. it goes against the base principle of the game. Its a good idea, but yer, goes against fundamental of the agme.

i think the functionality that is available in the current draft mechanism simulates your suggestion anyways, just not in a live format ie: I pick the guy i want most as my first preference. If someone else picks him, then it goes to my next preference, and so on. Seeing this live, i wouldnt change the order of my picks based on other guys picks anyways. So why would i watch it live?

I think there are other improvements that could be made to current draft mechanism that would help. For instance, i take a screen capture of my draft preferences beofre the draft, such that afterwards, i can do analysis on what a 5-ball 4-potential player turned out to be like..... i think being able to find this information somewhere inside the actual game, as opposed to a screen cap that i make, would make the current draft system much more friendly.

in other words, if BB are going to spend time and effort on draft, i think there are some minor improvements in functionality/reporting/analysis tools that they could implement, that would make the current drafting system much more user friendly and easier to work with moving forward.

1) I'm doing the same as you are doing with the draft.
Basically, I'm currently finding "the draft" one of the more interesting aspects of this game.

2) As written on previous messages on this thread, there is not much with having the draft live.
There are very rare cases where you have 3 players (or more), that are really worth a pick, that in case one is picked will change your preference.

3) I do think that things here could "get live", and draft is one of them (only that I think that in this case there is no reason, as written above.
I want to remind that the auction system is a live process!
