CPU draft logic is fixed! Best franchise mode experience since College Hoops 2K8!

Leftos said it was going to be in this patch but I didn't see it in any of the patch notes so I got a bit worried. I just simmed a new MyLeague to the draft and the top 5 prospects went top 5, when yesterday the top rated 78 overall B+ power forward was slipping to the end of the first round.

Now if prospect headbands are fixed....

This doesn't mean it's fixed. Maybe the cpu saw something in those prospects. Also, the fact that the top 5 prospects went top 5 is actually more worrisome because there's always a coach/gm that picks sleepers.

The tuning is in the patch that just got released. And I beg to disagree that top 5 prospects consistently falling to late 1st-early 2nd is worse (or more worrisome) than one simulation where the top 5 prospects actually went top 5. We haven't removed the possibility of sleepers nor have we made the draft be exactly like the mock.

Thanks for chiming in, Leftos.

Speaking of sleepers, how possible in the game is it to find significant players among those "hidden gems" assigned ?'s when you start scouting? Just wondering. I had a thread asking others about this but no one seems to have much experience scouting these, or they just haven't responded.

Is it ever possible to find a year one or two starting caliber player down there, with draft class sliders at default? I have my draft class slider at 25 and I did find a 58 overall player with B- potential, but I didn't scout the whole mystery portion of the draft class.

I have to disagree lol.

From a balance standpoint alone, the fact top prospects (with B+ to A potential) are falling to the end of the first round destroys balance in the league. Prospects who are clearly at the top of their class in the league of Wiggins/Parker or Irving sliding beyond the top 5 is absurd, when they're falling to teams who were in the conference finals it is just broken.

Every single MyLeague I've played has been SUPER easy because every draft, as long as I have a top 20 pick, when it's my turn to draft there will be a top 5 prospect sitting their for me to take.

In one MyLeague, with the Lakers or something, I had like the 12th and 16th picks and got the second and fourth best prospects.

There's no way to say the drafting was better before this patch IMO

And Leftos, can you give us any information on prospect headbands? At this point I'm forced to just lower any prospect with the glitched headband hair to 40 overall with 40 potential.

I'll see what I can do regarding the headband hair for the next patch.
