Status of the Drafts update

                                                                         

It is time to share the good news about the upcoming Drafts update with the community.
So far our work is very smooth. During this season we did not have many distractions from this work, so we are even ahead of our plans.

We are not 100% ready but our current plan is that a simplified Drafts version will take place at the end of THIS (78th) season. 

The plan is:
- 78th season 57th day: Drafts’ players will be generated. Starting this day teams will be able to change the prospects “wish list”.
- 78th season 63rd day, 11:15 - the final teams’ positions in Drafts event will be revealed (the only criteria is Draft points)
- 79th season 1st day: Drafts’ players will be signed (or all Draft points will be returned to the team if it withdraws from Drafts event). 

In BasketPulse Facebook page we added some images of what you can expect from the Drafts’ update this season: https://www.facebook.com/BasketPulse
Keep in mind that this is not the final version, we still have a few weeks to improve everything.

Very important:
If a team changes its international league, it will participate in the Drafts event of the new league. As soon as a team changes league - it's prospects “wish list” is deleted and a new one is created. So if the team owner does not want to get a pick by the default BasketPulse order, he has to make changes in the new “wish list”.

Players that will be generated
Currently we have only “ready now” players’ type. But until 57th day we might be able to implement inclusion of younger talents as well. In the worst case scenario, we will have more players’ types in the future Drafts events.

Contracts with drafted players
  • If a player is young enough, it automatically goes to basketballs school.
  • All other players sign 2 season contracts for: (0.5 * average salary of similar players). As we make big salary bonuses, these players will not be available for trades in their first contract term (2 seasons). Teams will be able to see the salary of each player in Drafts page. So there will be no surprises.
  • If a team does not use its Draft pick - all Draft points are returned to the team. We planned that only 50% of points would be returned but as players are not tradable - there is no point to force teams to sign a player if it does not fit the team’s benefit. So if a team does not find anything useful, it can save Draft points and go for a higher pick next season. 
  • Currently we can not tell what kind of bonuses drafted players will have in the market or what salary discount they will get in the youth team. We hope to provide more details in the last week of this season.

Updates in game’s schedule events
In order to have longer period for choosing Drafts prospects, we updated 63rd day game events’ schedule:
  • Event “Transferring bot teams to the lowest divisions” will take place at 10:00 (now it is at 16:00).

We would like to remind you that times of all events can be found in BasketPulse calendar: https://www.basketpulse.com/en/Pagrindinis-diena.htm

J'ai un joueur de draft qui a été automatiquement inscrit dans mon équipe alors que j'avais coché toutes les cases de refus pour la draft. On est obligé de drafté un joueur ? Car je vais être obligé de le couper car il ne m'intéresse vraiment pas mais du coup je vais perdre de l'argent dans l'affaire... -- 79 S 1 d.
