A minute(ish) for every player? That still seems like a lot of time and 'work'. Keep going though, you got this.
Three clicks from your mouse = "work"
First world problems.
While I found your post funny, I kind of agree with Max.
It kind of takes the fun out of it when you reduce it to researching numbers in a game setting.
The point is to assemble the best team we can and the simulation offers us a guide as to how they rank individual players. How am I supposed to know they consider Tracy McGrady to be one of the greatest defensive players of all time?
I understand both your points but inviting a first-time Monopoly player to play without explaining the rules to them isn't going to make the experience any more enjoyable.

The difference is we would ALL be first time "Monopoly" players. The point you have in your favor is that the game is obviously pretty flawed, at least with respect to defensive rankings. But still.... I would prefer it blind.

Well, Max won last time and he says he did it blind then. Of course, that was an easier draft.
However, this time around, we are doing less simulations, only 84 total. Last time, we did 100 games against each opponent. That will make it less predictable.
By the way, I'd be frustrated if I did this blind. I know basketball. I know T. Brandon... And that guy was never an 80+ defender. An old Erving is 100?
