MukilteoMike Joined: 08/09/2014 Posts: 3294 Inactive | Seeing the player cards of the draftees kindof defeats the illusion of realism that we're shooting for don't you think? Surely you're joking. Do you really think a MLB team drafts a player because one scout tells them he has an unhittable fastball and good overall potential? Updated Monday, July 6 2015 @ 6:33:34 am PDT |

So, you would be advocating for removing most of the mystery and art of drafting and would prefer relying entirely on drawing lucky cards? | ||

So the 5 guys you get you get until you pick one. Steve already made that fix. |

Haselrig Joined: 04/13/2014 Posts: 2790 Novi Doubledays IV.8 | I don't recall anything like that. It's not something I've ever dealt with, so it's not a stretch to think I may have overlooked any change regarding it, Rock. Updated Monday, July 6 2015 @ 3:23:28 pm PDT |

MukilteoMike Joined: 08/09/2014 Posts: 3294 Inactive | I knew that was said, but it is not accurate. That's why I felt I could wait. Warning to all of you--that is not true. Your possible draftees CAN be taken by other owners. Updated Monday, July 6 2015 @ 10:17:34 pm PDT |

MukilteoMike Joined: 08/09/2014 Posts: 3294 Inactive | Uh, it did happen to me. Yes, I waited a few hours because I was on mobile and didn't have access to my handy dandy player evaluator to help determine which of two possible pitchers I would take. The point is Steve said that can't happen now, so owners assume that's the case--it's not. | ||

garfscores Joined: 10/13/2014 Posts: 488 Battle Creek Sting III.4 | Steve said that it can happen in rare instances. It used to substitute a player for the lost guy. It no longer does because that would lead to everyone waiting for their crappy prospects to be picked and repopulated with another player. That is way more unfair than the remote chance of losing a player with no replacement. |
