Perfect Draft Change?

Socali · 05-05-2022, 08:44 PM

I did not play PD in PT22 much at all but I just entered a PD Team that let you select 2 players for ALL 13 rounds and what a huge difference I thought it made. If this IS a recent change, thank you and I will be playing PD more for this change.

There are multiple varieties of PD, and more on the way

Is the card mix (i.e. number of selection in each round) tied to the tourney series or is it random?

I think (but am not 100% sure) that I've played sequential tourneys in the same series and had one (e.g. ID1 of the series) be the old format of one selection in each of the first three rounds and the next (ID2) be the variation where you get two selections and then less irons at the end.

But I admit I'm still hoping (probably in vain) for a format where you select iron first and end with a perfect, so you need to build a flexible team to accommodate whatever options you get for the perfect!

They're all consistent within each group, but I think a couple of the quick tournaments are named the same at the moment. So you might have a PD-Q-xxx which has a tournament ID of 20100053 and another quick tournament with the same name, but its ID is 20500048, which both appear the same but are technically different types, and so will have different configurations.

When we go through and update the tournaments, we'll see what we can do to rename them and avoid confusion.

Gotcha. That's exactly what happened. It was the 207xxxx series and 203xxxx series. Titled the same, but the first has the extra top-end selections and the latter doesn't.

It'd be nice if the "base" tournament setup didn't change when you modify lineups, etc.

I just noticed I've been running a 24 person Iron tourney lineup (I guess it won once but came in 2nd, 3rd, or 4th a handful of times) .... I don't always go in and load the roster/strategy set manually, so apparently it uses whatever the "last setup" was,

which can sometimes get messed up when I'm moving things around when it is "Simulating"

or in some cases where I get thrashed and just modify when it pulls starter, etc

Are the perfect drafts missing for anyone else other than me?

Thank you for the response. I figured that out this morning then I checked and saw your response.

I experienced that and resolved it by clearing filters (I think, something like that…I don’t have access to PC right now).

I've noticed that they don't always appear if you click on the "SHOW PERFECT DRAFTS" control on the OOTP home screen. If you click on a different tab and then click back to "Perfect Draft Tournaments", you should see the list.

Yes. For me, I didn’t understand why I would need to clear filters as I just selected Perfect Draft Tournaments only to see none there and had not used filters at all. Possibly a bug?

Any chance of having a daily PD every hour? Every time I look, they're all full and the next one to renew is for 15k, which I'm not interested in.
