I was the same. I just checked it and did it not even realizing it should not have been available.

Another advantage is that they can see the draft earlier which means they get an earlier chance at adjusting the money spent.

Maybe now they know that they need to spend a little more to see certain players or they know that they have all the information they need and can quit putting money into it.


That is certainly a large advantage.

I am not sure how it is a large advantage. I can see the players a couple of days earlier, but it still requires the managers to spend the same amount of money for the same points. I and certain that most managers will not adjust spending since it really is just very small sample to look at right now. Rather than punish managers for doing what was allowed by the system, just simply open up the scouting now.

It isn't a huge advantage but I can already see how horrible my draft is and may scale back my draft spending. (Or should I up it in case one of those 3 ball guys has 5 potential?)

Perhaps one of the advantage is that if you happen to find a super player with perfect height etc etc and you want him so bad, you could decide to intentionally start losing the games quicker, so that you can make sure that you'll end last in the league and get him. But then...I don't think many players will do that :P

The chances aren't very high I guess. Even if you think he's a great prospect, he may turn out to be a useless player just like the guard with pitiful OD and respectable rebounding example you gave.

It is a huge thing Manon.

Please don't disrespect my right to whine about absolutely nothing.

If you take a powerful enough magnifying glass and look REALLY close... you'll be able to see the hot air I'm blowing disgruntledly has some substance.

Seriously!

I know a player who tanked an entire season last season and got the top draft pick. He spent $20,000-$40,000 every week on scouting and got the best player in the draft.

Graeme Smith (18085248)
Small Forward
Owner: amos rogues
Weekly salary: $ 4 665
Age: 18
Height: 6'2" / 188 cm
Potential: star
Game Shape: respectable

Is his market value worth even one week of scouting? The draft is very random and cruel.

The opposite extreme is

Jone Bogan was pick 32 in the season 11 draft by adams guns.

Transfer 3/26/2010 12 Purchased from adams guns for $ 4 161 600

$4,000,000 for pick #32! Wow. That sale sent the team involved straight to the ABBL.

We estimate that a top quality division II team in Australia has players worth from about $7,000,000-$10,000,000. That one lucky draft gave that player half of a division II championship team.

PS: There is one more piece to this puzzle. Jone Bogan is probably the best trained player I have ever seen. After 3 1/2 seasons of single position training he is by far the best player in the Aussie U21 team and will be a regular fixture in the senior team for seasons to come. So after that huge investment and all those seasons of work how much did his owner sell him for?

Transfer 2/27/2011 15 Purchased from 羞死屯火箭队 for $ 5 101 100.

Ouch!

Not many players will sell for over 5 million in the current BB economic climate mind u.
