These are much more fun than autodrafts in single season formats.

I agree. Has there been any updates to when that feature will be returning?

I agree too. I play about half as much without the LIVE leagues.

I like being able to choose all the players. Autodrafts are usually 70% or less of the
choice, and 30% or more surprise compensation picks. It feels like you are getting
a fraction of the value for the credit IMHO.

I know the flash drive code is much different from the rest of the site. If that isn't
ready, I wonder if strat would consider using the current waiver mechanism to build
up teams. You can add players to teams with the waiver mechanism, why not use
a multi-pass waiver system to build up teams from scratch. You would need to add
a scheduling system to the waiver system and might not be able to do a wiaver round
faster than every 5 minutes, but a multi-pass waiver system could capture much of
the LIVE draft essence the Flash drive format offered. And maybe you could do the
lower rounds more than 1 round at a time to finish the entire draft in a reasonable
amount of time.

Thats an intriguing thought- Im not sure what it would take code wise to do.

I also miss the live drafts; Im assuming that SoM is going to really do it right when they get around to it and make it fantastic.

The main reason for suggesting the idea is that maybe it could be coded relatively
fast. Much of what is needed is already coded and any additional parts are at least
within the same programming environment that the programmers know. If it takes
too much additional coding, of course, its pointless.

Big picture is the LIVE drafts. Miss them. Getting restless not having them.
