So we are using the new lotto with our new teams to draft rookies from 2010 draft? I'm confused.

I think its going to be the same way we did the other ones, just now we can add this years rookie class to the mix...

We aren't using that draft order, I don't think. :lol:

It wouldn't be fair for those who have new teams.

I don't think mags posted the selection order yet. That draft order that 2k2 posted is not the BAT 4.0 order.

Of course a Nate Robinson fan is still confused. There's no ironic twist there....

Definitely have to do a better job of Depth Charts and before you run the Sim again make it clear the Sim is predicated off of DC with minutes projected.

swisscheeseD · Post #12 » by **swisscheeseD** » Mon Jul 19, 2010 9:59 pm

So are we going to automatically give the 30 sim points to the team who has LeBron or Kobe again? Or are we scrapping the sim all together?

I believe scrapped completely.

I don't think DC had really that that much to do with it.

I had my best player (Stoudemire) for only 33 minutes per game (compared to some guys who actually pushed their top dogs into the 38-39 range) and I ended up with the 3rd best record in the league.

A lot had to do with injuries and fit. Throwing a bunch of guys together that don't fit doesn't make a winning team in sim anymore it does in real life and that's what a lot of you guys had (players that didn't fit each other's best skills).

It's not just about taking the best player at the time or the most recognized name...

Yeah but you had completely inaccurate DC's. I had players in my top rotation not even on my team. Obviously the fault of those who did but realize it now.

Mags- I vote for the new draft order to be put up from tonight. Yes, I'm thirsty. lol

swisscheeseD · Post #18 » by **swisscheeseD** » Mon Jul 19, 2010 11:24 pm

So are we doing this as the "Build A Franchise" idea? With players, rookies, coaches, and the rights to overseas players all being in the draft pool?

We have to determine how many rounds we will draft for. I say we do 13 rounds (1 added due to the Coaches being selected) and fill out the remaining roster slots with the "Player Auction" after the draft.

When exactly is this going to get started up? Immediately after the judging for BaT 3.0? I just know that I'm going to be a lot more busy in the upcoming few weeks getting ready to go back to school so I hope the process of drafting players and whatever else is done in a more efficient manner.

If we are scrapping the sim than do our teams play any games? Or is all we do just draft players and get graded on our roster? Because if we did do a sim again I think it would have been better to slow down the season to give us a better feel of our team's success or which players are doing good/bad. Just something to think about for whoever is running this.
