2012, Ammy Draft Chatter

[recte44]

Dont know what to say about the guy not in the utility. Let's go by the utility, I suppose.

Well that sucks ok then time to reassess

[agrudez]

Yeah... it'd be pretty unfair to those who have already selected to 'add' a new player to the draft (since many people, myself included, look primarily at the utility).

Another question, though, is should that player be deleted from the file or can we assume he'll re-enter the draft next year (and not become a FA or something equally sordid).

[Manny]

Well smack me silly I didnt even think of that, I didn't think that people would primarily use the utility instead of the game, thats what I get for assuming things. That now totally makes sense to not include him in the draft but yeah please let's not allow him to enter FA but instead delete or get him to enter next year.

Gotta reshuffle the draft board now

[agrudez]

I finally got around to checking the draft pool and there are only 18 players worth a 1st round pick... what a happy coincidence that I pick 18th!

This does not bode well for me at 22.

Hard to feel sorry for you since you made the finals only 2 years ago

[Cliche]

You make a good point...

I will gladly take a crappy player at 22 if it leads to another finals trip!

[agrudez]

Uh.... who the hell is Brian Clough? He DEFINITELY didn't show up in my utility.

Did anyone else see him? I can't imagine he'd have slipped to #6 (as an auto-pick, suspiciously) if they had.

[recte44]

It appears that the guys from the IFA didn't show up originally. What I'm going to do is reset the draft, and we'll start over. Draft clock will open on Monday at 4 hours.

Cool?

[agrudez]

Sounds good to me. I didn't even know IFA get dumped into the ammy draft pool... I guess thats a setting in '14 to avoid the bidding wars if you so desire?

[recte44]

IFA is not International Free Agents- it's a different thing. I suppose I picked the wrong acronym to avoid confusion.

[Greeney03]

Well... With the first pick, Greenville select P Ángel 'Beast of Burden' Ramírez

[nerfHerder]

Sounds good to me.

[felipe]

I DO NOT select Estrada number two overall; and I will need time to go over the 'new' draft pool

[wualumni]

Question were these IFA guys listed in the Draft Pool in OOTP itself? I created my spreadsheets off the game itself not the online utility.

[recte44]

Yes.

I have disabled the draft again, awaiting Louisville to PM me with their corrected pick.

[felipe]

shit...hope you're not in a hurry...got a ton of 'real' work to do...I thought Monday was re-start draft day...

[agrudez]

Matt, when you reset the draft it also seemed to drop the added picks (ie. those for not signing a player and the supplemental rounds). I'll add the latter, but I don't know the former (that link doesn't work for me).
