New offseason schedule
Booting dead weight
Making decisions without a vote on every item

I am about to put 3-5 owners on the hot seat tomorrow, some of this is getting ridiculous. If all you do is download and export and contribute nothing to trade talks, don't answer messages, don't draft, and don't post then you do nothing for the NDL and we will find better.
MAD BILLIAM

Has this "competition level" always been there for the draft classes? It's in the status tab on the bottom.

i think its hard to figure out how you can have three or four almost identically rated guys from different teams and they perform all over the place.
i like the idea of "off years" every so often, but a 70 rated guy is a 70 rated guy for the most part.
Jordan fucking Blackshaw, no one pissed me off more than that guy

The drafts are so much different in v21. All of the guys picked so far have been on my top 20 or so. In past versions guys would be picked in the top 10 that were not even on my lists...not saying my scout was always right.
The differences between scout and OSA is not as crazy either.

not sure what side you're on with this, but in my opinion it shouldn't be 50 points difference. it should be somewhat similar
I also don't understand monumental differences between top rated guys. I see one scout seeing a guy as a top 5 pick and another thinking the same guy is late round 1 or maybe round 2.....i guess
however a scout seeing a guy with 75 POT and another scout seeing him with 25 POT.....that's ridiculous

OPS+ and ERA+ used to be one of the big things I looked at for the draft. Hate that '21 has just given them all 100's

there will be a HS pitcher who went 14-0 with a 2.00 ERA and 175 Ks in 100 innings and be rated 20/28
what?
i get competition levels, but are they playing verse 10 year olds?

Agreed AJ. I am just not seeing as much differences as in the past. I am not seeing many, if any, 50 point differences. In the past there were a ton of them. That part seems to be getting better for me.
If only, I didn't have to scout the same guys every sim....

There's still variances but it's great to see they don't seem to be as absurd as they used to be.

Only 7 lists so far and draft begins tomorrow..... I hope everyone is preparing
Yes sir, doing my homework on each player and will be entering it late afternoon/early evening.
Lol
Yeah, what a crazy thought to look through the draft and see if guys listed as RP really have 3 good pitches or Stamina to really be a SP. Crazy!
