Draft Screen Big Board

JoeyJ2287 · 06-09-2017, 04:16 PM

The main thing I always wish this game would implement is a draft screen big board.

I sort the draft player pool by a rating or category and I start scouting guys that I would be interested in drafting, obviously. I currently compile the guys I have interest in on a player shortlist so I can go back through them and slowly wind down my options to a select few.

I use the "autodraft until my next pick" feature, so it would be incredibly helpful to have the board in the draft screen, and then once a player on my board is selected by another team, he is no longer available on my board.

I rarely post, so if this has been suggested, my bad. With that said, if there is a way to do this currently in the game, please let me know.

i do the same thing for the first couple to three rounds. after that i don't invest as much effort

anyway, piecemeal it a bit... you don't need to shortlist so many for round 1... since most will be choosen by your next pick... i'll find the best few hitters, best few SP (maybe even a CL at times)... maybe 4-5 players on average are truly comparable for a high first round pick...

after the top-10 picks it starts to depend more on strategy for that pick - going best available or best of a need etc etc... if need, that's a short list for the particular round, too. further into the draft, the more 'equivalents' are likely for any 1 round... this is where they will start to pile up and ensuing picks will be quicker without a need to shortlist occasionally.

tailor the shortlisting to the pick at hand and eventually they will pile up without wasting effort shortlisting players you never had a chance of seeing.... and of course it turns into a 100% junk by the teens without TCR+ or bad league-wide scouting...

make a suggestion about a wrinkle to that relative to what you originally posted in the suggestion forum and maybe they'll run with it in a few years
