Potent Draft class:feedback needed

jaydh · 06-12-2005, 05:21 PM

Hey, i am in this league, and every year we've had a draft, its been normal, a couple dominant players all the way down to those who will never make it. Now this season, this is the new draft available players.

http://www.loho-ootp-online.com/league/rookies.html

Has the commish tampered with the player creation modifiers? Or is it possible that ootp will have a freakish draft where there is no player who is not rated below a 5star player in the draft. I just think this draft will ruin the league, making most current players obsolete in a season or two.

Please give feedback.

I would say something has been changed and those guys should be deleted.

Thats a pretty ridiculous class, and would definitely hurt the league.

I don't know who changes what in your process, but I have seen that sort of set before where the ratings in some categories were even a bit higher.

interesting that most of the players not matter what the age seem to be in the 32-38 out of 100 range in contact. I would be willing to guess that most of those 21-23 year old players don't reach their potential for a while if at all. Just clicking on a bunch of random offensive players I also noticed that the ratings are well below the talents and all sort of grouped together.

Contact (30-40)
Gap (70's and 80's)
Power (6-16)
Eye (1 for every player so far)
Avoid K (100)

Pitchers seem to share

Stuff (15-30)
Control (70's and 80's)
Movement (25-40)

It would be interesting to see how many of these players actually pan out.

Let's calm down a bit here. and not be jealous because now Houston got tons of picks, you received something for those picks with houston you got what you wanted. Now 97% of the players with 5 stars got no level at all a 1 or 2, those players will not develop at all, let's not get worry because they are a 5 star, that do not mean ****, if they got no talent at all at the end of the season 90% of them will be reduce to a 2 star and even a 1 star it happened in the past, and Toronto was one of those team. I hate to edit a player because now we are opening the door for more editing and I would like to stay away from it, feel free to answer me back

If this is truly what the commish says, I'd say it is time to find a new league...

Brian · 06-13-2005, 11:00 AM

I also doubt most of the guys will develop after looking at ages and current talents. This is a very good league and what would the commish get from cheating? His team is not that good and the league has been running for at least 4 real years (we've started).

That's amazing, what's even more amazing is that last guy who is 100 in everything, but a 2 in eye. Basically won't walk, won't K, just get hits and HR. That is one of the most ******ed classes I've seen in a while and 100% not natural. As was said above, shop for a new league.

tcblcommish · 06-13-2005, 11:49 AM

I'd be shopping around for a new league. That is a stupid looking draft class. The whole league could be turned upside down with that many hitters coming into the league in one season. I cannot see there ever being a draft class that is that awesome when it comes to hitting...

waylander · 06-13-2005, 10:08 PM

if it looks like a turd and smells like a turd....

No way should your league go with that draft class... something is amiss.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a dick, and quacks like a duck, it's either a duck or it's close enough to a duck as to make no difference.

Time for a new league.

UngratefulDead · 06-13-2005, 11:25 PM

Uhh, yeah, that didn't happen naturally. And You'll Thank Me Later totally needs a warning! He said walks like a dick!

HAAAA!!!! Oh man, that was my first real laugh of the day. Thanks UD.

Silly I know. But that cracked me up.

Ahem. Yes. I've stated earlier in this thread how it occured in my world: faulty manipulation of data. Period.

General statement:

If you don't feel like you can trust the commissioner you shouldn't be in the league, period.

Edit - FWIW I think the final result of going to the pre-button file and generating a new class is a good decision, that class just doesn't seem right and would drastically change the power structure in any league (sure most may not pan out, but if even just 20 % of them do, you'd have more 5 star players in the league from that one draft then most would have had in several seasons).

DerekJeter2 · 06-14-2005, 10:23 AM

He obviously tampered with the Player Creation Modifiers. All he has to do is go to the League Setup > Misc. > 1st Yr Draft change it to offseason, then change it back to June 1st and the players will be reset (as long as modifiers are 0%)
