Stats for draftees, auto-generating draft classes, and feeder leagues.

[VarlosZ]

I've tried searching on these questions, but I've had trouble finding unambiguous answers.

1) Am I correct that, with a new league, after the game works though its database of real-life HS/College names for the draft (presumably after 4 years), the fictional generated players in subsequent drafts will once again have stats associated with them?

2) Is there a simple way to get the game to dump the current draft class and generate a new one on the spot? I'm almost sure this used to be an option (as of 14), but darned if I can't find it now.

3) Is there an up-to-date How To on setting up a feeder league system? Most of the info out there is piecemeal and leaves me with a bunch of questions. I found this thread from 2011; is that all still accurate?


Many thanks in advance.

I'm going to bump this one time in the hopes that someone has an answer for 1) or 2).

1) Yes. I have gone through a few MLB-type leagues and fictional draftees come in with their own stats after the real draftees have dried up.

2) Yes. You have to change the draft pool reveal date to an earlier time than normal, like 60 days before the draft. Once the draft pool is revealed, you can mass select all the draftees and delete them. Then change the draft pool reveal date back to its original time and you will get a whole new draft class.

3) As far as I know, all the feeder league info in that thread is still relevant.

Hope these answers help.

in 16, there's also an option to have the game set up a complete feeder system for you
