2016 Amateur Draft (Begins Sunday 18th)

[brwnbear]

how do you add players to your draft queue?

In the game you can go to the draft pool - draft list and have your scout create a list or add/edit guys yourself.

In the utility you add each guy to the draft que.

Just ignore my idea. I misjudged the temp in the room. I thought more guys would want to draft with the game using their own scouts with an upated que. I didnt realize everyone prefers the utility.

No, I had no idea, LOL. If the player is drafted, do they continue playing in the playoffs?

Ohhhhhh. That's the kind of thing I wasn't thinking about.

I'd imagine he would stop, but who knows. Any way to test it, if it's worth it?

No, in real life.

In the game, he is gone. On your team.

We have our real life and game so mixed up.

In real life, he gets drafted, but still can finish up the season with his college team.

Sucks that in the game, he would be gone. That kills that idea.

Let's get that sim right at 10pm, I'd finally be around at night for a sim for once.

no. strasburg stopped pitching for SD STate once he was selected. Hes not longer their property hes Washingtons

[trendon]

That ain't happening until about 1AM. After this, I am going to try and see if Bear can do Friday sims.

I think shel is talking about starting the selection process which would end on the date of the draft in the game. Not actually moving guys into your team.

BTW - Just a heads up. The utility has a few guys in it that are not included in the draft pool in the game. Make sure you look through each player as there are quite a few highly ranked guys on there.

Also be aware that the contract/bonus demands are not always accurate with those guys. Their demand on the game is not updated as they are not expected to be drafted this year. When they get selected, the game will auto assign the demand base on the player.

Lastly, there is a scouting update done right before the draft. It will effect a few of the guys in the draft. Vazques, my starting 2B was rated a 42 right up to the draft. He wasnt on my top 10 list and I ended up taking him with the 3rd pick. So there may be a few changes for those that are picking early.

I can do Friday sims. In fact, are you near OOTP or do you need to export a file?

[nick]

did we ever figure out my database issue? like was that what the huge response to Trendon was about? Cause ya

[Uuaww]

imo, is it possible to delete those added dudes to the utility?? I mean, who knows their demands, their actual stats, anything? Kinda stupid to just randomly have them there. I dont even need the utility, I will be making picks. Iunno, It's whatever

I am talking utility. I see a button that says draft player, but every guy I do, it says player not eligible. Last utility, there was a button that said "add to list"

[shel311]

no. strasburg stopped pitching for SD STate once he was selected. Hes not longer their property hes Washingtons

No, he stopped pitching for sdsu after they lost to Virginia and their season was over. I believe he got drafted after that.

Players get drafted and play in the CWS always. Not sure if there has ever been an instance of a player stopping after being drafted and his team still playing in the postseason.

they are in the game, you just have to manually search for them

ohhhh...

[brwnbear]

but their draft demands are not correct because the game does not expect them to be in the draft. I am actually confused as to how these players are going to be added into the game since they dont exist in the draft pool.

[Bernie32]

The utility places them in the game I think. It has been like this every year. There are players on the utility that don't appear on the draft pool. Something about the utility fits like 1000 guys that the game does not or something I believe was the answer Trendon gave in previous drafts. But they are already in the game, that's why they are in the utility, they don't need to be added. That's why I asked Trendon about ratings in the utility, cause I'd use to use that a starting point in my searches.

As for contracts and demands, 1 guy I am looking at it says "slot" so if I take him #1 I assume he is going to want what the slot value for a #1 pick is.

yeah me too. almost 11 million. Fuck the draft just got a lot harder. I just wish we knew how many rounds we have to pay signing bonuses for. If it was mentioned already, I missed it. Kind of glad I lost my 2nd rounder now.

[shel311]

Bernie, I think it's 5 rounds.

I know they exist in the game, what I mean is that when as comish, you move a guy into the draft slot, they need to exist in the draft pool in order for the games bonus demand thing to work correctly. There is a thread about it on the forums.
