Worst Draft Ever

September 25, 2013 at 02:01PM View BBCode

My draft ranking system is telling me that this is the worst draft class since I've been playing in the GPL.

I was going to tell you why I have come to that conclusion, but decided that I shouldn't give up the secrets to my ranking system!

Do you make adjustments for System 3 improvements? This looks like an average draft to me. 21 major-league-potential players is low, but 5 of them are potential HOFers, which is high.

Since you cannot predict development on a specific player, I make no adjustments for system 3. My system assumes average development for all.
A normal class ranks with 5-10 B+ or better players by age 23. This draft has 3 with all of them on the very low end on B+. Not only that, A normal class has ~22 players with B or better ranking by age 23, this class has 13.

The only thing saving this draft is if you happen to get a gem.

The reason to make an adjustment for System 3 is because the value of green teenagers is higher. I mean, let's be clear. I'm not trying to criticize your analysis because you clearly have a clue at this game.

Of course, for whatever reason my settings weren't used in the draft again so it makes the whole thing moot for me. I totally sound like bundy but I definitely checked my settings this morning because you made this thread, and somehow I ended up with http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?mode=player&playername=nobody&id=10716417 as my second round pick instead of http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?mode=player&playername=nobody&id=10716403.

I've [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/oldforum-viewthread.jsp?tid=364234]posted about it in Support[/url], but that it hasn't happened to anyone else is a huge red flag to me. I really don't know what I'm doing to cause this, though.

That's terrible. It can really set a franchise back!

Is it your browser? Does the error happen from the same computer each time or from different computers. This has never happened to me.

Of course there is always the possibility that it is a PEBKAC error. Even an ID-10T error. ;)

I hadn't thought of it being a browser error because I can see my preferences reflected, so it isn't as if it isn't taking. But how can I rule anything out?

If you watched the new South Park tonight, I am as paranoid as Butters.

Part of me still thinks that I am just missing the time to rank because of the league's speed.
