- Recommended players being worse than other players remaining on the board
- Recommended players are usually the next pick if you don't pick them
After noticing that, and not enjoying the draft a whole lot, I found threads like this and this. It appears many people are upset with the draft, or at least were initially. I also noticed that a lot of these threads haven't seen posts in a while.
So what I want to know is, from people who have played out a lot of seasons, did the drafts pan out? Do enough quality players come out of it? Did the league go to ****? Was there an awkward transition between regen players and existing players until the last real player retired? |
To your 4 points:
1. Every Scout will have a different opinion of a player.
2. Same as 1.
3. Same as 1.
4. Not understanding what you mean here. Are you saying if you auto pick, the recommendation gets picked by the AI?
Are you saying if you don't pick the player, the next team does?
Big thing is, every Scout will have a different opinion of a player, just like real life. Some will think a guy is a sure thing, others will think he's a maybe guy.
You have to learn to do some "Scouting" of your own. Look at players stats, trends, ratings, personality (if enabled), etc. Your Scout is another tool in your arsenal. You take his information/recommendations along with other info you've gathered and make a decision. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't.
The other thing, OOTP is designed to keep competitive balance. If your league starts to get too much top end talent over-all, then draft classes will be weaker. Same thing the other way. The game will always try to keep that competitive balance. No league should be over-run with superstars, or over-run with duds.
