These rankings are done based upon your coaching staff's very rough assessment of the talent of the player, based on a combination of the current skills and the talent of each player, but as in real life, the ranking will be imperfect, and some players will even be ranked very inaccurately. You will have to invest further in scouting these players to find some hidden gems and expose some talent for being over-hyped. Each team will have its own baseline rankings, but the amount of uncertainty in each set of rankings will be the same. Unlike in the previous system, however, there will be no free scouting points given out because we are instead giving the baseline rankings.

I guess its better to reset the system.... there are too many wrong things...


Could you be more specific please? Which things are wrong, what do you think we should reset?

Yes but from that statement I'd expect the baseline rankings to give at least some guideline about the players.

From my sample they were as far off as possible. And I heard the same from other players.

But if that's the way it was intended, I accept it.

We have both said a lot of things that you are going to regret.

ive got a great draft list ad im willing to give it up to promote fair play.


Good for you. You can have a reset. Or maybe everyone here who is promoting a reset (besides you, naturally) has a really crap list and that's the real reason why they want it.

Look, you say you want to promote fair play, but this will be unfair no matter how you slice it. Given that, and (what I assume is) the really small number of divisions affected, I would go with the solution that is easier for the BBs to implement. The do nothing solution.

On the other hand, if 50% of the teams in BB are affected, I could accept that a reset is needed. But if only .1% of the teams are affected, then I really do not see the point. It is not like using all those scouting points is a free ticket to getting any of that information back the 2nd time around. I can see a situation where the information would be used again for benefit, but in 99% of cases I bet the person has to start from scratch.

I would suggest only resetting the drafts where there was an issue with someone hitting negative scouting points.

This is not my case. If you want to know in a personal view, I have found this player: 18 yo, 5 star rating, 4 potential, A+.... and many others almost like this player....

But remember what happen before some seasons with ARENA & the new thing: REDUCING ARENA PLACES.... Does this REDUCING ARENA PLACES exist anymore? I guess NO. Some users reduced their arena to found some money & then couldn't survive in this game....

The new Draft Order is very interesting & I'm saying to correct things in order not to happen just like REDUCING ARENA PLACES...

In this thread I was reading: I miss points, I have less points, I don't have this, I should have this....

You know... too many users have problems...

Personally, I don't have any problem....

If you would have read the remainder of the thread, and the Message of the Day, or even the post I set just above your post, you would have known all these problems you just mentioned were fixed within a few hours after releasing the draft already.

As far as I know, all of the problems have been addressed. The only thing that might require a reset is the "perceived notion" that some people got some extra information through the bugs. But like I said, it is only a "perceived notion" at the moment, with no evidence to back it up.

It seems those who want a reset at the moment are either 1) overreacting or 2) do not like their draft list. I am guessing the BBs will do a good investigation and determine if a reset is indeed warranted, although my guess is it would be like killing an ant with a bazooka.

I hope this scouting system will stay for a long time, not to be just an experiment & the next season will be presented again the old Draft Oder...
