good player, but, you need to have bot team's in your league, and also to have a lot of luck to pick them before bot 's :-)
And, if you have bot team's, you can pick up such a player spending just 5-10k on draft, or even nothing.

well you can still pick him up in a bot league spending nothing but your chances are similar to the bots to really find all the hidden gems you need to spend much more

i only spend 10K but I will probably get the third last pick and there aren't many bot in my league

if i was in a low league or down near the bottom of any leage i would spend a lot more that one pick can be the thing that changes the fortune of your entire team if you do get a $1,000,000 player

Spending more money gets you more information on players

Getting more information on players gives you better idea on who is a better player in the draft

See, that's the problem I have. The scouting and draft list information doesn't tell you who's the better player. Case in point, from later in the thread:

Basil Frame (12018636) Shooting Guard
Owner: Rosudgeon Raptors
Weekly salary: $ 5 042
DMI: 46200
Age: 18
Height: 6'6" / 198 cm
Potential: hall of famer
Game Shape: strong

starting $5042 18 and mvp what got to be worth a fortune

Basil Frame was pick 21 in the season 10 draft by Rosudgeon Raptors.

...and he was Rosudgeon's #8 preference. What does it say about the usefulness of the draft list when it leads someone to make a talent this obvious his eighth preference?

I see what you are refering to. But for one you are talking about Australia Div 4 draft where majority of teams are bot and don't pick properly.

Secondly there might be reason why that player could end up being his reference. If you scout a player once, you only know what his raw skills are and not his age and potential. So if I have information on other guys that have the same in raw skills and I know their potential/age then it would be logical for me to put those players ahead of a guy that I do not know what his potential is.

So , if I'm on the 5th place in my division is it a waste to spend 40k on scouting?

Want to see another crazy example?

Edmund Tokley (12018877) Power Forward
Owner: ScullyFC
Weekly salary: $ 5 506
DMI: 7500
Age: 18
Height: 6'9" / 206 cm
Potential: starter
Game Shape: awful
Edmund Tokley was pick 47 in the season 10 draft by ScullyFC.

A $5,500 18 year old second last pick. Gosh some people have all the luck. Information is really useful, that being said I have only spent $10,000 all season, it has been just too tight to spend more.

He was only starter potential though so i wouldn't call it great. Not bad for 2nd last pick though.

Also division 4 draft where most teams are bot.

You won't get these scenarios in Aus div II upwards as all teams are active

I've been playing Norwegian top league this season. I was clearly the worst team in the division from day one and my objective was to train my two PF's in outside defense and passing to make them SF's. Therefore I knew I would loose most of my games (as I did) and are being relegated. I've invested 40K every week and I will let you know how my draft goes in a few days...

I hold the 6th pick overall in my current D-IV League (IV.48) ...And I am some what disappointed! I've been spending 40k (since all star break last season). And in both drafts I haven't' got a whole lot of Information. And it really ticks me off lol...
Because I have every player scouted with 23 scouted Twice! and the majoridy of the players scouted twice are scrub players! I don't understand why any real life GM/Scout would want to scout a crummy player twice! I have a few good Prospects but it's a shame because I can't see if their 18 or what potential they have... it's kind of lame... But I'm hoping I get this player:

SG/5 Star Rating/4 Star Potential-18yrs old with an "A+" grade rating

and my other prospect that was scouted twice:

PF/5 star Rating/ 4 star Potential-19yrs old with an "A+" grade rating (But it's a shame he's 19yrs old)

with that being said... do you guys think i should gamble... and put 3 (5 star prospects) in front of the 19 yr old or should I keep the 19yr old (2nd Reference) since I know his Grade rating is an "A+" and 4 Star Potential? Their are 5 Bots In front of me with the 1-5 picks.

I'd appreciated it Fellas thanks!
