Other Changes

[Blewy]

OK well we have the changes to Trading, The Sim and the Way you need to submit your team...

A few other things which will be changed...

* Rookies - No longer will Rookies be assigned to Clubs.. From now on ALL rookies will head to a 2 week "Rookie Camp" toward the end of the season, and then go straight to the draft...

* Draft - The Draft process will be changed.. We are currently undergoing a research process on the way the new draft will work, however what i can say is that it will favour lower teams alot more then before...

* Draft Picks - It is likely with the lack of assigned Rookies and Changed Draft system that we will be allowing the trading of Draft Picks... This is not confirmed yet however its looking likely at the moment...

As more comes to hand i will let you know.

Much fairer IMO. Excellent change.

Just to add to that, All rookies stats will be greatly decreased... They will be done manually rather then through a program, that way we can monitor what abilities they have...

Just one thing.

I know you're against a player being traded twice or so during each period. But if we are having a draft, would it not be a possibility to trade a player more than once in the final trading window? It just makes more sense for teams picking lower down to get their best possible 10 or so.

At this stage it wont be an option, however i will discuss it with the other guys and see how they feel...

It's just that for the bigger teams they have to lose some very good players and sometimes pick up worse players in their absence. Hence I'd say it's fair for them to try and get the best possible 10 they can. Because the difference between pick 1 and pick 36 in the old WCC was absolutely massive.

The other alternative I spose is to just have a rookie draft (like the AFL)...

Andy the difference between the top and bottom picks now will be much less because the players stats have been lowered... There is a core group of players all around the same mark whereas before it was a small group of "Super Players" whilst the rest were good...


There is another change which i am thinking of but will need to speak to the board 1st...
