SUPERCOACH DRAFT REVAMP - The draft game, in which each player can only be picked once in a unique league draft,
is getting a huge upgrade to make trading easier - including multi-player trades - and adding increased flexibility in squad sizes, the ability to suspend play during the byes and to enter up to three leagues on one account.
Last season was first time I played SC Draft.
Whilst I did enjoy it there were also some horribly bad bugs in system and their idea of a live draft I'm sure most groups of people that tried it found it would auto pick for you sometimes when it was not meant to. Also some other bugs like showing defenders as forwards when offering for trade or even the craziest one I saw, was Sam in our league one time was only have about 15 of his players scores counted in a match even though he had 3 more that should have been showing up with scores in the website. I had to e-mail vapormedia to fix that and our draft. Whilst they did fix those mistakes it did not fill me with much confidence those mistakes would have been fixed if I had not e-mailed them about it.

It is funny they talk about a major upgrade but don't mention anything specific about fixing those big bugs from last season.
It is liked they never existed.

I'll take interest to see how it plays out in 2015 but vapormedia I'm sure also do Big Bash that I deleted my account on after 1st weekend because of the joke of the way they scored for an abandoned game.
Can't take them seriously until they really hone in on giving games attention they deserve if truly going to do them well.
The sites look great but those flaws horrible.
I wonder will they truly improve those elements.

Good that they finally released a free app and I do not have to resort to dodgy third party apps to make last minute changes :p
But that live scores part still irks me. Why can't I get it with SC Gold... :(

They hardly ever work! =/ I've tried pretty much all of them, and they aren't very effective.
Yeah. There was one on android that would do it but from what I heard a cease and desist notice was given to the guy running the app, and as he was just doing it for fun he obviously complied.

Given Phil's past record I think I will put him down for that. He's never actually won the whole thing but been right in the mix a number of years to make me consider he someone to take real notice of.

Any time he posts anything I read with great interest.
Ditto, good stuff Philzay.
Thanks for the compliments guys, much appreciated!

Now the pressure is on this year after a disastrous 2013!

So you read any of my posts with great interest hey....what if I post about some of the most boring stuff in the world?? Like some of the accounting issues my wife faces throughout her day that I am meant to take a great interest in hearing about..... :eek: Just joking I won't force that pain on any of you!

he he.... I knew If you read that, you might have a warped sense of humour and starting posting differently on purpose... rofl.

Yeah, I know by your high standards, last season was one of your worst, but seeing your record mentioned in past you been playing this game a long time and must have a great feel of how to do well at it, that keeping in touch with how you progressing with changes in team, trades and timing of trades is worth following. There is a lot of luck though in the game with regards to injury , especially early in season, that can undo, even a great player such as yourself , so I'm not put off by your last season not being one of your best. There are plenty of reasons you might have just not had a good year.
If you can get as high as you have, as often as you have, I consider you one of the true elite coaches I can learn from.

Having said that, I actually don't expect people such as yourself to share anything that has given you an edge to allow you to often do so well in general. I actually respect it, if a coach keeps under wraps, ideas, he believes may give him any edge on others playing the game. But in this type of game there is not much the masses don't find out so soon after that many potential edges evaporate so quick, it is not funny.

I'm very happy that it opened just about right on time. 1 minute late if I'm being picky. :p

The design that has changed once again as it does almost every year. As usual, will take time to get used it to the new design and format, but I like it. :D

Exciting times ahead!

I am sure we'll get used to it. Right now it looks like IKEA threw up in it.

IIRC you ran over a black cat or something last year too? Hope it all goes a bit smoother for you this year.

Good luck everyone! Carna Ghost!
