Warrior General Games

Thought it'd be cool to have certain leagues where non of the teams have players and the teams randomize a draft order and draft a pool of created players. People could create players, opt into this league format, have a period of training and then once fully trained enter the draft pool. Season standings would determine the next years draft order and you'd draft the incoming rookie class. This would fix the issue with owners creating every player on their roster and making it more like real life. Just ideas.

Why is someone creating an entire roster an issue?

I am pretty sure this was already talked about if I remember correctly, but the main issue was certain agents prefer to play with certain owners/coordinators so it never really stuck.

wouldn't work because there is no system in place that would require the drafted player to actually sign

Cuz it sucks to manage that many dudes and have that much money invested.

It has been tested long time ago, before the meltdown, and it did't work. It was the the team owners who accepted the players to enter the draftpool, but it was in the end the agent, who had to sign. It just died out.

I cannot remember the name of that draft.

For sure. why to sign with a team that suck? No thanks!

Team Nucleus was the one who ran it. I did a lot of the work behind the scenes for it. ILOF league. It was a no-no league, to take the cost out of the equation. It ran for 3 seasons, and then I think a year later or so, he ran a second one that I wasn't involved with. The biggest problem was, most teams took like 45 or so of their 'regulars' and drafted like 10 'free' spots. Didn't end up a very even playing field, pretty sure my old Rumblin Stumblin team took all 3 championships in it, or maybe 2?

If you could do it with all 55 being drafted, it would be cool - but that would probably require official support. As it was, the draft took like 12+ hours and exhausted everyone involved. And no-no leagues getting official support, was always on the NGTH list.

There it was. ILOF league. I dont remember who ran it, as I was just a big part of a team in casual, but from what I saw, it was a place for getting rid of shitty builds.

Nah people built specifically for it. Since it was no boost, no custom, there were basically zero free agents that could be used - so teams that had someone bolt after the first season, were kinda screwed. Since most of PeeWee back then, was full boosting every season. LordEvil, OSIRIS, Gerr, the old school dominant PW owners, I think a few of them jumped in for the second run that TN did.

Team Nucleus, aka Draft Man ... put so much effort into that league. Was fun, for the short time it lasted. And he gathered up a bunch of the agents from it and made the Evil Empire organization, that also didn't last terribly long, but was a lot of fun, though not terribly competitive? Super active forums though. Miss Nuc, he lived like two towns over from me ... we actually realized we played HS ball against one another once we got talking.

Sorry I cannot remember the exact way it was run, only recall we got a couple of picks, that was below our own builds.

Team owner jverser, had his way DOTs had to be built and that took his team Her Majesty's Dragons to several big wins in CP.

I can't imagine getting 200 dots rounded up to draft, let alone the right type of dots... Like not 20 QBs and 10 O-Line.

You'd want at least 4 teams to make it interesting.

And then what? A 50 round draft?

You'd have to do 5 dots per pick or something.

In theory it could sound cool but GLB doesn't have the infrastructure to make it viable. It requires so much good will from everyone involved.

Back in the day this is the SINGLE issue that killed the idea of a draft.
