if concerned.. .use a backup for testing / observing.

or, you could load up the game -- do nothing important you want to keep -- turn scouting to 100% and when done observing -- ctrl-alt-del and 'end process'.

nothing will be saved either way. no way to avoid seeing your current players/league 100% of course.

-----------------

klew -- change them the moment you see really weak drafts.. .although it sounds like it was more a case of bad scouting than truly poor draft classes?

--------------

simple draft pool editor -- allow input of % change for each ratings... simply runs the math, poops it out and re-import with mass edits done in a snap of a finger. can make the spreadsheet accept the exported files as a linked worksheet then go from there. re-useable and simple to change the effects too.

Yes those are designed to be changed at the 10th year draft. I don't know how long they work, I only tested them in year 2028 but didn't check to see how long they would last for. The draft quality does continue to diminish past year 10, so you may have to come up with better ones down the road, especially if you are doing 100+ years of history.

I made this draft pool editor, welcome any feedback on it. I haven't tested it a ton, wondering what the results look like to others.

I know there are some deeper discussions in here but one thing I thought I'd mention.

The first draft class for those playing a quickstart or standard league starting in 2018 sucks. I'm guessing this is because it was customized to include real life draft eligible players. But there's I believe 1 4.5 star player, a few 4's, and that's it.

To fix this, I deleted the draft class. Then I finished the day. Then went into settings and changed the draft class release to 20 days before the draft. This will force the game to create a new draft class of fictional players that have more realistic ratings. When I do that I get 10 5 star, 8 4.5 stars, etc.

Again, this is just for the first year.
