This is from the EA Sports Website. They had an interview with the developers of NBA Live and they asked if there would be a draft in franchise mode. The response is that there will be a fantasy draft. I don't know if I like the sound of that. No college players???
Here it is...
EA SPORTS: How will the Franchise mode work? Is there a draft?
GARY: Franchise mode allows the user to play the role of an NBA General Manager. You can guide one or more teams through multiple seasons and build your team the way you see fit. If you want to go with an all-veteran squad and try to win a championship, you can make trades and try to stock up your team. If you want to go with the youth movement like the Clippers (who I happen to love), you can trade away your pricey veterans for some young potential superstars like Desmond Mason or Darius Miles. It's a pretty deep game mode and NBA fans will get a lot of playing time going through their seasons.
And yes, there's going to be a draft feature in this year's Live. It's like a fantasy draft in that every player in the NBA becomes a potential draft pick. There are some pretty scary teams that can be assembled using this feature. Imagine Shaq playing with Jason Kidd! If you play your draft right, you just may be able to do that.
