Draft & WInter Mtgs detail expansion...

BigCity · 06-26-2013, 09:33 PM

I would like to see drafts and the winter mtgs expanded in terms of detail - maybe as follows... please comment and or add/subtract.

Drafts

1. during the preceding weeks to the draft, articles mentioning what certain teams are looking for, what players are being mentioned, etc.
2. During the draft itself, teams offering players for a draft choice against the clock.

Winter Meetings

This one is tougher since it has been discussed at length for a few years now. Personally, I think the Winter Meetings should be handled day-by-day. A daily summary documenting what deals were closed that day, what rumors are being heard, and what opinions various teams have on league changes to be voted on. I realize a lot of work will be necessary to put this together, but I think the end results would be well worth the effort.

I like both draft ideas a lot. They would add to the immersive aspect of the game, especially for those of us who spend a lot of time simming/playing out a single season. Giving more work to the GMs always creates more immersion.

The winter meetings ideas would do the same, but I would also like the options to turn these off in League Setup.
