Well a friend drafted a guy as SG and now that player belongs to Greek U21 NT as a PF. An other example: I drafted a player as a C and now after i train him as big man for 2 seasons is on Cyprus U21 as SF, with a new trainer who is training guards his height only 6'3. Considering those examples u r idea cant work.

P.S. My draft looks bad too.

with your system, there will be even less reason to spend more then 5k in the draft then actual ;)

What do you mean it can't work. If you want to train a SF by drafting C, then scout C.

This whole draft thing has been a problem for a long time. The BBs have read it and I'm pretty sure it's on their to-do list. So knowing the system is faulty, just stop investing in the draft. I spent zero $$ this season and I have 1 5-star and 3 4-star players.

Wish I hadnt of spent all that money from what others have said, also finding it impossible to change my order the players just will not exchange positions.

Finally am I right that theres no point spending money on scouting this week (mind you looking at my selections think that could hold for the previous weeks)

Any money you spend on scouting, starting this week, counts for the draft next season.

that's a completely different way of scouting and drafting. Much more control to you as manager.

to me, I would prefer to pick up which player to scout a second time, not by role, as roles can dramatically change (we haven't mentioned height!). However, that could be a good option.

I understand that BB's wants:
- encourage spending money in scouting
- keep draft not so deterministic (random is part of the game)
- probably (my 2 cents) not spend much time on draft before having definitely fixed GE (done) and new site

But don't forget the draft: it's a key part of the game!

Actually, the last time this issue was raised (i.e. the last draft) I was told 'are you crazy spending money in scouts when you're having such a good record?'... so I guess you're right in saying that this point is not in a high position in BBs' to-do list, and I totally agree with you on the fact that the scouting and draft mechanisms could be much more interesting and fun, but I think that the BBs really don't care if we spend money in scouting...

crazy breakdown on that. but yeah thats what i've been doing since I've only got one legit PG and i'm trying to do a Run N Gun type offense...won't work without reliable PG's!

managed to scout 3 5* PG's and 1 5 star C out of nowhere...we'll c what happens on draft day though.
