For the new draft system, will the commissioner be able to put in the score for the player? I play a draft game that has been off a website program and is simply run by a commissioner who tallies up his own scores. The thing we do different is positions score differently. So not every player is under the same scoring system.
G’day Liam. I’m not sure for specific player (I will ask … and suggest this)… but you can definitely adjust scores for match ups.
When will the draft kit come out?
We aim for this to be out mid-February.
Interested to know the difference between ‘keeper’ leagues we currently have and ‘dynasty’ leagues that are planned. Is it just a crap ton of extra settings available?
Also, were category leages considered at all? Would be tough to implement in an effective way but this would be a cool feature.
