I dont mind it being random but I just think when you do the combine and you have a guy that is 5 grey balls and you then use a scouting point to scout him and he is a 1 ball that is just stupid, and that is really my only gripe with this game. There shouldnt be that much difference, I can understand 5 down to 3 but not 5 down to 1.


If the Timberwolves can draft a 26 year old thinking he's 21, a little bit of wackiness in the unscouted pool is more than acceptable. ;) These are guys that none of your scouts have seen play, so they're working with second hand knowledge at best.

Think about it a different way. You're the one scouting those 48 players, nobody else. And you're the one choosing how much to spend on scouting and how to spend it.

So the initial order doesn't mean anything, it's 48 names written on a page. Also, why would you want managers that don't spend a dime on scouting to have a rough idea of who the best players are? That works against those managers that took the time and spent the money on scouting.

Perhaps he would relax a bit more, softening his touch, and therefore be more efficient than usual. =)

Which almost lands him at his normal numbers sadly enough. =)

Because it makes sense. Every random person in the world can just click on ESPN and see who are the top draft prospects. I think it would make a lot more sense if just the potential was totally random and unknown, but their basic skills right now, if the "word on the street" thinks the best player in the draft is actually a totally hopeless 1 ball loserthen it is worthless.

Seriously folks
if something is 20-30% accurate
it is 100%
since you cannot rely on it at all


one question, if you had to choose a couvert with only knowing the chanches that there are money in it, in couvert a are with a 20% Chanche 100€ in couvert B there is a 10% Chanche of 100€. As a help for your decision you get a dice. Would you:

A. Take the couvert with 20% Chanche.
B, Take the couvert with 10% Chanche.
C. Since the chanches are so low, roll the dice and take a when it show a even number and B when it show an uneven number.

when you are not taking B or C, i think initial accuracy is important - because it affect the order of the unscouted player and also the order to scout player.

Dude everyone can give 50 examples of draft busts but there are much larger numbers of guys that turned out just as they expected. I would argue that was their potential that was misjudged, not how good they were at the time.

When is the last time a LeBron, Dwight or Rose turned bust? The only recent example is Greg Oden and it isn't that he is a bad player, he has just been wrecked by injuries. The last really horrible high pick was Darko Milicic and even at the time everyone was puzzled.

I was verifing your comments, not questioning. Sorry if there was confusion.
