Aren't you the same guy who typed this ten minutes ago:
Come on everyone, it's not like the draft list has been available many, many hours before now in every season prior. And it's not as though the offseason schedule has been posted in the help forum for 2 1/2 weeks. And none of the BB's could *possibly* have predicted that they would need to create draft lists exactly 14 weeks since they last did and could have prepared in advance.

Oh wait...


I'd say we're riding those high horses together side by side.

What would you say if I told you I'm going on a 3 week European country tour and leave at 5 AM?



I'd say that I wish I had enough money to take a three week vacation across Europe. I'd also say that I hope you enjoy your trip.

I am really scared. If the list isn't up in the next 45 minutes it means that I won't have enough time to edit the list before the draft happens on June 28th.


I lol'd.

I'm just messing with you all. But it would be nice if I was able to get a peek at the list before I go to bed soon.

I am really scared. If the list isn't up in the next 45 minutes it means that I won't have enough time to edit the list before the draft happens on June 28th. I will have only 13 days! My spread sheets and algorithms are so complex that having anything less than a full 336 hours to evaluate my imaginary draft prospects puts my entire draft plan in jeopardy and ruined my entire summer.

I don't understand how the servers hosting a massive multiplayer game where 99% of the managers don't pay a cent to play are struggling to process the creation of tens of thousands of new imaginary players from scratch while also accommodating high volume message boards and the simulation of a hundred or so national team games which include live chats. Who is running this updating effort, British Petroleum? I demand justice!

[/sarcasm]

Everyone chill out. This has less than zero negative consequences for you, your real life or your (most likely free) imaginary basketball team.

We will still have 13 days to edit the order and we're all going to be royally disappointed about the quality of our draft picks anyway.


It makes no sense to say it will be released on one day, and then either wait til the last possible moment, or the next day, its obviously going to be an event in the season that players are anxious to see. I don't care if they said it was coming out on the 20th at 12:00, but just try to meet that time. It just makes business sense to meet deadlines, particularly arbitrary ones they set well in advance. If its difficult for the servers to process it, then have the lists released at a more manageable date, unless there were unforeseen circumstances in which case provide better communication. And for some reason, I think of this as a business as opposed to the BB's doing this out of the goodness of their hearts to 99% of us lowly non-supporters who should be grateful for whatever they provide.

Sorry, as a non-supporter I should probably stop using the high volume message boards now.

I don't see the reason for differentiating supports / non-supporters.

As you can see, we're ALL waiting for the draft mate.

edit:

- The draft happens during the off-season processing on Monday night, but it may take until Tuesday before the process is finished.

- The creation of the draft lists is a very resource-intensive process, so you might not find your draft list available exactly on Monday.


shrugs. not like they didn't say it might be later :P
