Your re-start seems to have you on better footing this time, by the way. 
Also, how are you creating those reports? Dumping to Excel, then saving a screen shot? |
1) To be fair to OOTP, the free agent draft is fairly new and not used by many people. To give the AI a different routine for picking than the Amateur draft would be probably a lot of work for a small payoff. In the Amateur draft, it makes sense to pick the BPA regardless of team need.
2) Thanks...maybe....not sure what you mean. If you mean the Haymakers are better, that is because I put a lot more effort into drafting this go 'round. I wanted to crush the competition the first year and my goal was to win 50 games to make the Haymakers a team to remember for the ages. However, losing my #1 pitcher and all of my outfielders for big chunks of the season prevented that.
3) I use LibreOffice Calc, which is a free spreadsheet program similar to Excel, and GIMP, a free image manipulation program. The info doesn't come from .csv dumps. though. I open reports in a browser and copy and paste and then re-tabulate stats and reformat. A few items in the standings report are entered by hand. Then I do a screen grab and paste into GIMP over the background.
