I still would opt for moments that collide with season structure:
Changing ticket prices at start of interconferential round, end of interconferential round, PO-start and end of season.



I like your idea as well...

I agree 100% with the draft and 10000% with training SF.

It is impossible to train a SF..

I freaking love this idea.

but then again, who the heck cares about draft collusions?
I mean, bah, it's just a very stupid thing to worry about.

the overall draft experience is pretty much useless/annoying right now, a total rehauling should be put in place. what's the point in having a draft where 33% of the players should be playing curling?


QFT

I've always wondered why they were so concerned about two managers talking about the players in the draft.

Open up nearly any league conference thread about the draft and you'll see how many 5* players people are seeing. Is that collusion?

The problem with the draft is not that there could be cheating. The problem with the draft is that the majority of the players drafted aren't fit to sweep up the locker room, much less put on a uniform.

The collusion worry is that those that pay the $40K (or whatever) for scouting then can share the info with those who do not pay anything.

As far as the draft goes, I wouldn't mind seeing a system where the more you put into scouting, the better chance you have of getting three new players (without the draft mechanism - you just simply get three new players).

But I'm not against the current system either.

or there could be something like that then you get list of players at the end of season with all the skills and choose 3 of them.

40k full season 6 players on the list

20k full season 5 players

10k full season 4 players

5k full season just generate better players for you, then if you would pay 0

0k full season players would`n be good maybe just one of them worth something

it`s just an idea which should be developed more better... But the point is that teams don`t scout same schools or universities or something so nobody have same players scouted.

I have never once drafted a single usable/trainable player. A couple I have managed to sell for 100k or so.

While some of you guys are right in saying that a lot of players never make NBA rosters it is extremely unlikely that a team can't pick up even once decent player in 7 seasons of drafting.

I have given up completely on spending money on scouting because it has made zero difference on the quality of my picks.

The disparity between a team with a top draft pick and the many others that get nothing is big enough now that if the team cashes in they can replace with a triple sensational centre.

Don't worry - this is not a criticism from me.. i am merely pointing out when players traded hands for much more (drafts seem to have maintained a high premium in early weeks of the season) the difference wasn't as great.

There are cries for more money for scrimmages/this that the other or calls for rebalancing staff wages/arena incomes etc.... the draft is single handedly the one feature that can propel a team whose manager has made poor decisions above and beyond someone who has made some great team choices.

1 lucky pick can create $2million. I would prefer to see a more balanced distribution of talent vs money spent OR wider risk/rewards for other parts of the game so that the luck from the draft can be softened elsewhere.

I just find it odd to have never come up with even an average pick in the time I've been playing. I used to spend the max every week on scouting too until I realized it did nothing for me.
