Minimum draft age

Post by Chuck V » Wed May 15, 2024 11:40 am

I would love to see the minimum draft age be 18. It just seems so unrealistic to be drafting US high school sophomores. Keep scouting discoveries at 16, but move the draft age to 18.

It’s never been explained to me why it’s this way to begin with.

Sounds like a bug in 25 to me. I never could get feeders to work right in my offline saves, but am thankful we have them here since I rely heavily on stats.

For real? My top pick retired already? That's the price for the draft starting a week early. 😅

I expect you’ll get a comp pick which is the best commish can do in a weird, shitty situation. Still sucks, I like to always sign my picks.

I'll appreciate a comp pick if it comes to that. It would have been nice to have the opportunity to try to sign him. The draft hasn't even loaded yet.

Could we change High school juniors to High school seniors? Never really saw a resolution to this.
