Online Franchise Question -- Does the Draft Work from the Website?

[JosephyW]

Hi all, I was planning on going to a friend's place tonight for a fun "war room"-style online franchise offseason draft, with him running it off his Xbox and me doing it in the same room from my laptop.

I started doing some pre-draft scouting of some of my options, but every time I try to add somebody to my draft profile, I get an error that the server is down.

Now I'm concerned that I'm going to get server errors during the draft itself and have the CPU auto-draft for me, and I was wondering if anybody has drafted via the web lately, and if it worked.

Thanks so much!

When I did my draft about a month ago, my cousin did his on the computer, so yes it works.

Does it say the server is down when you try to change your draft board?

I've had numerous people have issues with it come draft time so I honest would only recommend it as a last resort.
