I think 30 minutes is too quick, especially for the first round of two, because I much prefer making last minute decisions on a pick rather than creating a list of 30+ players. But that's just me. I really don't feel it necessary to do 10+ rounds in the utility, would much rather take our time on 3-5 rounds and do the rest with in-game draft lists.

But that's just me. I type this as I'm trying to logically assemble a list that will cover me through a few rounds.

With the 4th pick the Thunder selected MR Dominique Neveu.

I went to update my in game list and this player is NOT in the draft pool. I did find him on his college team but not in the draft pool.

Not complaining just wondering why it would be so fast. The draft will be done tomorrow at 30 minutes and nobody will have enough players in their queue.

So far there are 4 auto-picks out of 9 picks and it's just going to get worse. Things like this cause problems within the league. These teams on auto-pick are going to have crappy farm systems which will lead to crappy teams, which will lead to teams that are hard to fill...I would rather draft 5 rounds and have most people drafting and let my in-game draft list handle the remaining rounds than draft 10 rounds and be one of 7 owners actually drafting.

Jeff

Obviously I did not intend to quote myself...

I kinda agree, but I think we should try it at 30. If its a choice between doing it at 30 minutes and being able to select 10 rounds before simming the rest, or doing it at 1-2 hours and only selecting 5 rounds before we sim, I would prefer the 30 minutes.

Not saying that's the choice we're faced with, but that's how I see it: less time per pick = more rounds without simming. Depending on how many just go to straight-autodrafting, it's going to be tough to keep up, but I think i can do it. I plan on adding between 50-75 people to my queue every night, and i figure that should get me through.

So far, most guys have picked players that were nowhere near my radar, which means that I think my queue should be fine. It also means that my scout is either a genius or a complete imbecile. I'm getting the guillotine ready, just in case . . .

I was thinking firewall or browser. Could be anything virus/browser/firewall/software incompatibility.

No problems, here.

Is it a browser issue? I am using Firefox, and I don't even think its the most updated version.

I did not touch anything for 5 minutes. Made one change and it seemed to go back 15 minutes. I got enough people in for the 1st round, so I can deal with it again at another time.

No probs with me, just some patience required, I found. Press the button once then give it a few seconds to take.

I don't see this on my end. It a little slow but my list takes. Sounds more like an internet issue than the program.

Could the draft utility be any worse? I love moving a guy then adding a new guy and it got rid of the last 2-3 things I did. I can't program at all, but I am sure I could program an equally useless program. I feel like it was two drunk Canadians who are laughing at everybody's expense.

Savannah just made their first pick, a guy their scout obviously loved. On my scout's list, he's ranked 101. Crazy and, to me, the only way to play OOTP.

He wasn't on my radar either. Does make it more interesting.
