Exactly what I was trying to say. +1

Every time some is looking for a escape goat they yell "this is not real life".

Actually, when I need an escape goat, I call my goat man Esteban. I find that in times where I need escape and only a goat will do, shouting "this is not real life" is among the worst strategies to pursue. If you're ever in need of an escape goat I can get you in touch with him or his local representatives for your area, though I feel honorbound to point out that I receive a 10% referral fee and that they're likely to start trying to upsell you on their more profitable donkey show business.

A lot of blind faith and crap shoot in bb draft .. I doubt the best team on the games like how the draft works.. The top league managers cant even use the draft. How is it fair.. why should anyone blow millions to stay in 8th place. The draft is suppose to help them , but yet and still it offers no depth, no chance or even some hope, In small it destroys them!.. If think Im lying look around you, teams are tanking left and right , the bb draft is suppose to help all, not just some.

Teams tanking has much, much less to do with the draft than you seem to believe. There are people who believe that the only way to progress in the game is to pile up money and the easiest way they see to do that is to maximize weekly profit by minimizing weekly outlays.

Maybe my transfer balance would be much lower if the BB draft was worth a dam not being rude. Yes I'm in lower league and the bb draft is not doing me anything favors.. I poured 900K into the draft in my time and every time crap a pick. So excuse me for spending 3.2 million from 4-5 league on top of the 900K. To better my team, I did would manager would do, I used the market and built my arena.

I'm buying talent for the future that I still have to train. I understand training dispite what you may think. Nothing wrong with allowing managers to see few strengths and weaknesses of the player in the draft.. If a team need rebounds , how are they going to know when the stat sheet say 2 rebounds gotten which 100% false to his true stats. Saying the player is AA+ 5/5 doesn't mean anything. Its still selling a manager a dream. He still don't know what the strengths are, and still will be wanting to fill a gap in weakness of team. He doesn't have to be a 5/5 player he can get a 3/3 C+ and the players strength is rebounds, Which the team would or could go after if that is the weakness of the team which is realistic to bb team building. How is that harmful or unfair.?

It has nothing to do with real life and everything to do with helping the bb draft become better. You darn right I take it hard because when time come to build in top league we got 3 choices . Tank, buy players on market for million or quit.. That should not be the way. Im saying not give all top teams Kareem Abdul Jabaar in the BB draft. Atleast let them and us see the a few strength and weakness so they can go after such player in better fashion.

So my pardon my care of concern for the betterment in BB draft.. Atleast I give a dam and no, I don't have to like it to give dam.

Well if you cant buy players or get something to help you in the bb draft in top leagues,, then what's left to do? Its either tank rebuild or quit..

We don't have to agree on the exact cause of the purpose of actions in the matter. Top team tanking are not making much money with all the fines and game lost. When those team get about league 3 ,maybe even league 4, they come alive and 1st thing they do is BB draft.. Why?

Because they have a player that can help them. This is why they slide all the way down, its for a player to help them within the revenue. Again we don't have to agree on this matter. A lot of top team have millions of dollars, and will go broke in top league. One day it will be you or me and bb draft wont be helping us any in those times of need

Yes, the draft is somewhat of a gamble. Sometimes you don't get the player you want, or they don't have a skillset that you like. But a lot of the time, if you scout correctly, you can end up getting some very good players. What you said about the A+ 5/5 players is completely false. All rookies have some holes, that's why there's training. Even if you believe those holes can't be fixed, which there should be very few of if they are A+, they sell for quite a lot on the TL. And the point of the draft is to get players that are trainable. They're 18 or 19 years old (if you do the scouting combine, you should get all 18 year olds), which is their fastest training year. Even if a player is 19, they can still be trained be a great player.

my whole point is top leagues managers don't even get that, if even they try the draft wont help them when salary is at 49-169k a week to compete. what can 1200-5k a week rookie do?, They will need a 17k-25k a week rookie, I highly doubt that will help ease things. It depends on the skills and potent.

My point is at least let manager see a things saying strengths rebounds, blocks, steals, defensive players.... Maybe that's what a team need. This game has speed training , A player don't need every skill in the book to help a team win.. I do abide by a balanced team. The BB draft is not fair for top teams and most teams, because some assume all the top managers are swimming in the millions, which is not true.. a lot are just getting by ..I would assume 75% are just getting by.

A lot of them are renting those players. I have never been in the top league but I see what going on by looking , and its not a good look because one day the lower team are going to be there.. Its sad it another case shut your mouth and enjoy within the matter. It really is.

Reality or not. There is such thing as a sure thing and ready to perform.. Ill leave the matter alone, because it dead end road. No one care

And this wouldn't help to see new teams atop, it's already quite difficult to make his way to the top like that.

Another excellent point as well that I had not thought of, +1.

No that's not what im trying say not being rude/ what Im saying is let team see the player style of play.. is the player a great offensive scorer. great defensive player. sub par rebounder, all around floor general, good driver, shot blocker? ..

That not saying give them Kareem Abdul Jabber.. it just saying give more in depth about the player of choice.. You still have to train, If the top manager knows he need better defense he can build around that. it doesn't mean he is going to stay top league because he got 3 good defenders in the draft/ But he has speed training on his side

The game has speed training .a lot of top leagues wouldn't be about who has the better wallet but who is better trainer, you would see lower salaries and better young talent after some time.. This would help the market also those top team. I'm not say raise the draft skills for them, Just more in depth in what they need, to stay float or atleast make some money.

Only you get to see what your scouts reveal.

BUT, before you waste any scouting points, do the scouting combine first. Yes, first. Then sort out all the 19 year olds, and the heights you don't want (ex: If you want to train guard prospects, don't draft a guy 7 feet tall.). Then do the math to see if it's more efficient to scout the 1 and 2 balls individually, or to just do the group demo.
