1,000 Free Agents Rated at 1/1?
I am in a league in which I am taking over a slightly below average team with the worst farm system in the league. I also got dumped into the league at the end of July and missed the international FA signing period. I have a long road to hoe, but I have to start somewhere.
Right now, since the draft isn't until next June, I need to beat the free agent bushes for some talent to stock my system. There are about a thousand free agents out there with one star actual and potential ratings, to match the preponderance of lower level guys I got stuck with in my own system. My question is: how can I efficiently approach evaluating this list of 1,000 guys versus the value of the guys in my system? They all kind of look alike at first blush, so I could use a tip on approach here. Bonus question: I would like to download all the free agents to a file to look at all of them at once, but all my game is allowing me to do is to write report to disk one page at a time. There are over 40 pages of guys, so I don't want to have to replicate this 40 times to get an entire list. I appreciate whatever help--thanks! |

Stats only? Scouting on? How many levels of minors?

I'll address the latter first. There may not be a way around this due to the large number (I had to do 90 once). However, it is linked to how you show your lists. If you have the page display on then that is what gets used for the list. So switch to scroll display. There is a limit (size, memory, etc) where I think OOTP will always use the page format.
Happy coping and pasting! As for how, the technique I use in reviewing the FA, is will they perform better in my park or system. So find what key attributes you want and filter there. Then see if they can be an improvement.

What about exporting data to csv files?

Try filtering by age and see if that takes you out of pages and into the list so you can export in one batch.

Well, if you've got thousands of guys and they're all ones, I'd start by eliminating all the guys who are not high on intelligence and work ethic. They're likely the only ones who are going to progress from there anyway. That ought to narrow the field quite a bit.

I don't think it can be done in an online league. I don't play online, so don't really know for sure, but I'm betting it's not possible. |

Yeah, i thought this would be the case. I did ask the league commissioner to download the CSV files for me, so I hope he will help me with this as well.

As for all those 1/1 guys, try changing your relative ratings settings. Guys who remain 1/1 when set to Class A are not likely to develop, but you should see some guys have their ratings jump when compared to Class A (or whatever level you choose), meaning that they'd be good or great players at Class A, and that'll help you differentiate between guys. This is a useful tool when the draft comes around, too. |

But then the board nazis will come and demand you post in the 14 board without even reading the post or offering help.

Yeah, that will happen, and maybe that's what the mods want (which is up to them to decide). But it'll also save people time by making sure all suggestions are appropriate. Otherwise, it's the equivalent of a wild goose chase.
