I think the draft should produce players who are strong enough to play in the league they are drafted.

e.g. a nr. 1 pick (or the best draftee in the class) in I.1 should be on the level of II.x players on his position. the skills could also be linked to age, so that 19 or 20 year old players in the draft get better basic skills like exp, stamina and ft...

Ticket prices are a thorn in my side for some time now. last season I set the prices when i entered the game - big mistake when u are placed last at the end of the season, this time i thought i would not be promoted - prices are too low now. great succes, now i have to wait half season.

my suggestion: you can change ticket prices three times during a season, changes take effect for the next game.

Are you kidding me? How on earth a lower div team could make some decent plans to reach the top? The carefully trained players won't make any difference towards worse managers in the new league whenever he promotes because they had yet another advantage.

What? Why so hostile?

What I tried to say was that the best player in the draft should be around average of the players that play his position in his league. I dont expect that such players would rip their opponents apart - so plz calm down.

but if you look at the top draft every season you would see that people pay enormous sums from then, if they also have the skills from people from actuall 3 league draft who get 3 seson of training the sums will be skyrocketing and the third league team who could reach this level only with long training will loose ground to them.

And the draft will become much stronger each season, so your top draft won't be competive next season, if you like to have a system where draft are competive you have to eleminate the training effect to a realistivc size - in this case you maye got one pop each season so that lucky fdraft are top player from the beginningand will stay that even without training.

Didn't meant to sound hostile.

What I do expect is that young players with allready high stats will rip their opponents apart within a small period of time because they train faster. They will also lift the average up and season after season, draftees would be better and better. You would end up with players that are unrealistically high in skill.
The market would be disturbed drastically and it would be nearly impossible after 2 seasons to promote and stay in that division because the average of players is risen faster than the lower divisions.

that might be the case, but you have to consider that although the player strenght might be virtually unlimited, there are financial constraints which limit the teams - so i really doubt that the transfers would get much more expensive as the amount of money saved would go down.

Too much speculation maybe, but sthg need to be done with the draft and the qualitiy of the rookies.

The quality of the rookies is just fine according to me.

Train them patiently and they will be usefull for your team and financially when transferring them.
If you can't give them a spot in your team: sell them right away and do something nice with the easy money.

The problem is when you keep increasing the quality of the rookies, the other player's (equal strenght or worse than fresh rookies) market value will drop like a rock.
A lower league manager who has patiently trained a player for a season might find a lot new rookies as good as the one he has trained over a year, according to your (uneven for all leagues) increase in quality.

The higher division teams wouldn't need the lower div teams anymore to buy trained players from. So the lower div teams wouldn't receive the necessary money to strenghten their team to be competitive when promoting.

That would give teams in higher divisions an unfair advantage -- it would take them less training to make their rookies into awesome players.

I'm all for raising the cap on rookie skills by a level or two, but I think if that were to happen really good rookies ought to be very hard to come by. And the chance of drafting such a player ought to be evenly low throughout divisions. That might encourage more spending on scouting.

While giving better draft picks to higher leagues would be more realistic it would certainly be unfair to lower divisions. Many teams in higher divisions are there because they started the first couple of seasons. The draft is an equalizer.

Unfortunately, I think the draft way it is not worth investing in. I plan on not spending any money on scouting this season. The Draft/Scouting is an area where BB can greatly expand the game. Ideas could be making like making a Scout a staff position with a salary, scouting skills rather then nearly useless box scores, scouting a certain position, etc.

I agree there should at least be a small increase on the cap levels of players right now I would rather take my chances with the TL where I know what I am getting rather then taking a gamble with 400k spread across a season.
