now all they have to do is give us back all the things we lost with the switch over (live drafts, manager ratings, etc...).

"oft requested feature ?" News to me. So who was the :o who wrote to them three times a day for 6 months oft requesting this feature ?

Need to know more about it obviously. Would have wished the live draft feature was worked on instead. :roll:

While it's a far cry from "oft requested", I do recall this type of feature being mentioned a time or two.

While I like the feature and the idea, I'm afraid that it's scope is too narrow. Instead of limiting the shuffle to 1,000 cards ( around 25% of the deck I think) it would be much better and more useful if you could input what percent you would like to use.

It would also be cool if they could somehow incorporate this feature into a keeper league situation, although I'm not sure how easy that would be to pull off.

I agree that the % of the deck shuffled would seems like a very good idea.

As I stated elsewhere, I am highly skeptical the current managers would fill many leagues where a great
deal (>15%) of the cards are subtracted. But at least at the top caps, a small shuffle would still force
a significant strategy shift.

If they are going to Shuffle the Deck, they should Shuffle the Stadiums as well...

I guess I missed something. What is "shuffle the deck", or where on this site can I read about it?

I'm not sure I ever recall hearing this idea before. However, I think it is a fascinating idea.
I might consider actually buying a credit to try that out.
