Did the Draft run Correctly?
Judging by the number of threads with the same complaint, and credible at that, I would have to say something was wrong. I have never seen this many complaints of the same type in all the time I have been playing this game put together.
I also had two 5/5 players at the top of my list and got nowhere near that. Maybe they seriously downgraded what a five ball represents.
I saw your post in another thread, but I'll respond to it here:
If you follow this link
http://www.buzzerbeater.com/league/7/draftSummary.aspx?se..., you'll see that you did get your first choice, Mikey Crespo, who was listed as your first preference (shown on the right). Your second round pick, Jim Hite, was your 3rd preference, meaning that someone drafted the other 5/5 guy you listed in your top two before you picked in the second round but after you picked in the first round, or possibly
even before you picked in the first round if your second preference was
(39949397), who went one pick before Mikey Crespo.
So...
What happened to my two five/five draft choices at the top of my list?
You got the first one and someone else got the second.
With respect, and out of curiosity, you've played for 11 seasons and indicate you are quitting soon, have you honestly played this entire time without understanding the basics of the draft?
Maybe they seriously downgraded what a five ball represents.
The five ball was obviously for potential as Mike Crespo is an MVP. The 5 ball would have been listed in the potential column. See my previous question.
You don't say anything about his grade rating. The grade rating indicates a ballpark for his current TSP. I'm guessing it was B+ based on his salary. Did you scout any of these players more than once? You won't have any real idea of their current TSP without the grade rating, which is revealed in the second scouting...
Now, jump range and shot blocking have both seen reductions in salary cost in the past few seasons, does he have any jump range or shot blocking? This could be a factor if you thought his weekly salary should be higher.
An unfortunate side effect of a legitimate problem like the one affecting the Austrian Bundesliga teams is that uninformed, ignorant, or disgruntled users will come to inaccurate conclusions, which you are currently perpetuating.
I can tell you, as a US user, that I got exactly who I listed as my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th preferences based on age, Grade rating, potential rating, and height. The draft report from my league confirms this.
edit: Your second preference was in all likelihood one of these 3 players:
(39949438),
(39949420),
(39949427) or the guy I listed above.
