Major online league draft issue

You all said that the commissioner needs to have his/her own account, and that is fine... makes perfect sense, whatever. However! In order to draft players you must be logged in as the GM controlling the team!

Umm.. what?!

How in the world is the commissioner supposed to advance the draft if he cannot pick players?!

Anyone in commissioner mode needs to have permission to select players in the draft. Plain and simple.. right?

The way you guys have it designed, the managers have to draft themselves... this makes no sense in any way whatsoever...

Devs.... this needs to be fixed.

The commissioner's account has the ability to act as any of the human-owned teams. He can switch to them without needing a password; that allows him, for example, to use the force trade option to execute a trade when two GM's have agreed to one, or, in this case to make draft picks. To run the draft, he advances the draft until a human team is due to pick, and then switches to that team and makes the pick for them. Then, depending on what type of team drafts next, he either switches to the new team and makes the pick for them (if the owner is human) or returns to the GM account and advances the draft (if the owner is AI.) There is a bug at the moment where the Action menu to advance the draft isn't reappearing with the advance options enabled when changing back to the commissioner account; for now, to get around that, switch to a different screen (e.g. standings) and then back to the draft screen and it'll work correctly.

So our commissioner, in order to make a group of picks, has to switch to the team, back to commissioner, then to another team, back to commissioner, then to another team, so on and so forth? That's by design? That is an absolutely terrible design choice. Not efficient whatsoever and very tedious.

The way you mentioned it going straight to another human run team does not work. Trust me, I've tried it.

How can FHM5 get so many things wrong that OOTP has been doing for years?! And then claim it's all by design? Those are excuses for something that doesn't make sense.. Because... You guys refuse to change it or what? I don't get it. Look, I'm not trying to sound like an ass (by any means) but seriously the commissioner mode does so little in this game yet it should reign supreme over the entire league and have access to all. The commissioner needs to be able to do anything and everything, he shouldn't have to switch between owners to make picks.
