Horrible draft

[wellred]

I think the draft classes were fine as they were tbh. It seems like a knee jerk reaction to something a few people were complaining about. Considering not downloading any more patches and just playing offline franchise.

Yeah depending on what's actually fixed in the next patch I may not download. Classes were fine before, I feel like they're gonna be nerfed too far. Unless they fix QB scrambling idk if I'll download.

i've not seen this but also, i'd say that is kinda realistic. most drafts are top heavy and then the difference between the 20th payers and the 45th player is not much.

Good thing there is player editing. That's all i'm going to say. Not a fan of these terrible draft classes. That's not realistic to me. Seriously only one like 10 players worth drafting in 7 rounds? Naw. Y'all can keep that.

I said all along that the problem all along wasn't the draft classes it was that the default draft class (2016 rookies, Wentz/Goff/etc) was rated too low. Even with the classes that shipped with the game you had to bump up the XP in order to keep the league populated with good players by year 10. For Guards and Centers the XP had to be amped up 300% (max). Now that the Guards and Centers are even lower rated those positions will be filled with garbage players by year 10.

See Tdauggs XP slider post for more on that.

The new, lower rated, classes will have no chance of producing decent players in 10 years.

We need the default, day one classes back. Shame on all the myopic people for making a big deal about the default classes being too strong and not realizing the problem was he default (2016 class) roster.

You guys all love making it so easy to rebuild and draft players.

The classes were too good.... As a whole there were way too many mid and upper 70s.

I love having the cpu being able to field a competitive team in franchise.


Maybe the 'its not sim' guys needed more of an advatage against the cpu, because if their draft logic was screwed before you can pretty much kiss it goodbye when there's only 12 worthwhile players in any given class.


Who gives a crap what their OVR was? That means teams have to pay them more money after their rookie contracts are up, and not much else. Have fun with that exciting FA period 15 years down the track that features a 62 ovr punter as its coveted jewel, cause teams are gonna have buckets of cash to spend when their chouces are garbage and slightly faster garbage.

oh dont worry they are still able to. you may need the right xp slider set but i can assure you they can build competitive teams. as someone whos done several 10+ year simulations both pre and post draft class tuner - i've seen some ridiculously good teams. the xp spending by the cpu is so much improved this year.
