That guys power/discipline potential looks interesting. Are you going to continue tracking him? I wonder what happened his Senior year of HS? He fell off power wise, but rebounded nicely one he was drafted.Comment

Why did he play five years in high school?Denver BullsComment

Not sure, but I saw that in my leagues as well. You can attribute that to some schools allowing 7th and 8th graders to play varsity. I checked.Originally posted by The Pride View Post
Or as JJ said, he failed at some point.Comment

I think you're only allowed a certain number of years of competition.
The playing in 7th and 8th grade is possible. That happens in a lot of areas.Denver BullsComment

Any more thoughts on this? If we are going to move forward I would like to get the ball rolling sooner rather than later.Comment

I think this is something we really should try. My only concern are those broken players. The scouting is not reliable enough at this point IMO to draft just based off that.Comment

What broken players? The 6-2-2-2-2 guys? I think these exist in any fictional league, not just those with feeder leagues. Plus the thread that was linked to from Linty's thread was for OOTP 2007/8.Originally posted by mahoney2 View PostComment

Yeah... they exist in every league... the guy i pointed out in that thread is already on a BLB team... and as expected he is raking at the next level... but with nothing else besides singles to back him up.
Feeder league or not... the guys are in our universe.
I say lets go forward with it!California Kodiaks - GM - 1982-2013

As I recall, they also wrote that quite a few of that type seemed to get created soon after feeder leagues were created with less later on.
Marcus said he would look into it and fix it eventually but I think that we should at least wait until he does.Comment

Yeah but that thread was for OOTP 2007/8. Plus those types of players already exist.Originally posted by Riverman View Post

I think the problem is with fictional player creation in general, not feeder leagues.Comment

Here's a thread that points to feeder leagues as the issue:

However, it's only one user and I haven't seen a lot of other complaints about this.
chippered, care to test?

What exactly do you need me to test for? I should have time later tonight and earlier tomorrow to do some testing, and can get some results by the afternoon.
I do agree though with some of the others. Just having our scout to go with isn't enough for me. I want to see some stats so I can have another determiner.Last edited by Ryan; 12-11-2008, 05:15 PM.Comment

I'd like to see a few years of a league with feeder leagues and look for hitters in the draft that have high contact ratings (and/or potential) but few other qualities, like Adrian Acosta. Probably better to test with scouts off.
If it seems like a high number, maybe try comparing it to an identical league with feeder leagues off.Comment
