It definitely takes the fun out and makes it 100% about stats and manipulating the ratings.Max wrote:I haven't looked at any ratings. It takes the fun out of it IMO.AlaskaHawks wrote:Really wish I knew how to look up salary or defensive ratings.

Picking names out of a hat is my favorite activity at parties.

You don't think it'd be more fun if those #s weren't available? To each their own.l3bron wrote:Picking names out of a hat is my favorite activity at parties.

I lost interest several rounds ago. I can barely check who is available now.
I also agree that it would be more fun if it was blind. It would actually test basketball knowledge a lot more and be a lot more interesting.

Re: WhatIfSports Draft, Round 11 - 3 pt contest, Alaska's pi
I'm drafting blind-ish this time, just looking up seasons to see if they qualify. I'm a numbers guy, but the ratings haven't really helped me in the past lol. Spacing, ball-handling, and some of the other shit it uses in simulations aren't terribly transparent, so it's tough.

A minute(ish) for every player? That still seems like a lot of time and 'work'. Keep going though, you got this.l3bron wrote:It literally takes under a minute to check their numbers.AlaskaHawks wrote:Someone is taking this pretty serious lol.Max wrote: Oh cool. Enjoy your work.

It's like avideo game in that you know when a certain flaw is there and you exploit it. It's resourceful but takes the allure out of it for me.fpliii wrote:I'm drafting blind-ish this time, just looking up seasons to see if they qualify.

I think we should just give stalker the last pick in every round the next time and see who he picks.
