Please read my reply again, I agreed with your point about the arena just not the part where you accused him of wasting $$$ on his team every week. Considering he only owned it for 1 day. ;)

So you're saying you can't find a single week where he hasn't wasted money in all the time he's played BB? /thread

The only downside is you will use much more time to recover if you do this now than if you do this, say, next season. During the recover, you may get bored because everything is moving so slowly and you may quit the game. And since BB population has been on decline by several months now, I don't like this prospect and that's one of the reasons why I tried to convince you to go the other route.

one interesting fact I learned from my first draft (info not in the help files)

there may be MVP+ potential players in the draft for your league, but having high potential does NOT (in this game) guarantee high initial skill level (high initial salary). two of the high potential draftees in my league's draft were among the last picked due to their low initial salary (and hence were skipped over by managers who saw them as part of their group demo)

low initial skill can be overcome, but on the open market managers pay less for low skill. so even if a manager beats the odds and gets an 18 yr old HOF pot player in one of his draft picks, this player may have 2k or 3k initial salary (low initial skill) and not bring in the one million at auction you had assumed you would get

you can save the money you would have spent on scouting points and have in one season enough to buy a decent potential trainee (which can make you a profit in 2 seasons or give you a player to last you 10 seasons) , or in two seasons that HOF you are after with decent skills as well. You are not wasting your money then on a lottery and you can see what you get before you buy.

And its not like you arent entering the lottery - all the teams do. Its just when you pay for the scouting points and spend them you increase your chances (slightly) of getting the best out of what the pick has to offer in your division - which will probably always fall short of your hopes and expectations.

it looks like I will finish towards the top of my division this year so I will probably only spend 50k to get 10 draft pts and a very rough look at the best talent through the "group demo". spending more than 50k per season for a high division finisher is probably waste if the lower finishers in the league are human teams. such human teams presumably will invest in their future by loading up on draft points (although as you point out saving up money for a prospect not in the draft may be a better use of funds according to the laws of statistics)

if a team fails to use up their draft points are they carried forward to the next draft???
