I stink in terms of keeping one of these threads active as sometimes I just want to play and forget to make updates. Plus, I'm not the best writer and the things I find interesting are often things others probably find blah.
Thank you DW. I appreciate the reassurance. WRT that thread, it can be found here. I recall it being quite collaborative, and active. It was actually started just before OOTP18 came out (started Feb 15, 2017). Whenever my league starts, I may actually use more pictures than words in the thread that I start (eventually, I swear) to cover it because I want to get through more seasons in this version. It feels like the stats output is tighter in the game this year, and that really makes me want to get a long game going. I think my BABIP discovery has helped, but it's also possible something was done by the muckety mucks at OOTP to make it so.

Given the fact that the Historical Draft Values are very meh (in fact one might say wacky...yes I think wacky is the word) this year, I'll also be spending more time figuring out who should be drafted where, as I did last year (sadly). I've built a sweet spreadsheet for that, which makes it easier, but it's still more time consuming than I'd like it to be. My system ain't perfect either. It's based on WAR, and WAA (Wins Above Average) which are also imperfect, but I think it'll be better towards the top end of the draft than what we have in game now.

There are guys who'll be picked way at the back of the draft who will succeed in OOTP despite being kind of awful IRL (see Rico Brogna - his card indicates to me that he may become a stud, which is weird based on his RL career). Cup of coffee guys will tend to go in the middle of the draft. In some ways that looks weird, but if you think about it, those types of players will tend to ride the player development wave more than players who had more reps to show their talent IRL. So it's not perfect, but I don't think any system is. I just can't stand the fact that there's a system in place that will allow for an inner, inner, inner circle HoF to go anywhere but 1st overall, unless there's actually another all-timer who was better IRL, and those problems won't exist with mine.
