We needed a place to talk about the league that wasn't the season 2 thread. If you're in the league, this is the place to be. You know who you are. If you're clicking on this thread and you don't understand what I've said so far, you're in the wrong place. There are no more spots.

I'll update this post with the draft order later tonight, although you can check XBL for it now. It was randomly assigned unfortunately.

can we try drafting tonight? i know for sure i cant on sunday

We (DM and I) set the league as drafting on sunday @ 8 eastern/ 5 pacific.

I know some people wanted to do it tonight because A) They're free and B) It's now! But it was very short notice, and most importantly..if we do it on sunday, people will have time to prerank their picks on XBL. If we had done it tonight, the people who can't make it would have been screwed. If you can't come to the draft on sunday, go on xbox live into the 'draft' area and you can kind of pre-rank your players. It's not ideal...as you'll see. It uses check marks so it seems you can just select players you'd like and keep unselected ones you don't.. but hey it's way better than nothing.

Just posted this on the 2k site board. Why do I have 8 road games in a row and 11 of 16 are road games. I usually don't bitch about things, but I'd like to have a fair shot at making the playoffs.

If you read what I've said above and then actually go on XBL it'll make more sense. There's no FAQ about the process.

It'll probably take an hour to an hour and a half. That's just my best guess. 12 people. 1 min max per pick. 12 picks I believe.

Ahh ok.. No biggie... Was worth a shot.. Would preranking players make a difference to you? or would ya rather draft your team live?

Regardless someone or a few people will have to prerank i guess it all deends on what night the draft is.

Right, and if it happened tonight the few people who miss it wouldn't have any time to prerank, as compared to sunday where they'd have time to have ranked. No situation is perfect for everyone sadly.

No matter when the draft is, and we're scrambling to sort it out now...It's looking like tonight @ 12 eastern



You can only DRAFT UP TO 2 90 RATED PLAYERS AND 3 80 RATED PLAYERS

I don't know if this'll be an issue, but you cannot go over that. If someone doesn't show for the draft and gets a team that's a little too good we'll figure that out if it happens.


You can only DRAFT UP TO 2 90 RATED PLAYERS AND 3 80 RATED PLAYERS


You can only DRAFT UP TO 2 90 RATED PLAYERS AND 3 80 RATED PLAYERS

The first league's poll had the majority voting for this option.

Konex, Truelize, ChrisJames and possibly Wellie cant do it tonight, so I'm not going to force it.

If you guys want to do it any day before Sunday, we can work something out.

ChrisJames posted on the league board:

I can draft on Thursday or else late Sunday evening (after 10 EST). I wouldn't be opposed to drafting late Thursday, but I know that a lot of people have to get up early.

Ah, so its Konex, Truelize, and Wellie.

Konex told me no, but he could always prerank his players before going to sleep if we end up getting 11 players in. And I dont know about Wellie, he hasn't replied to me. Truelize is just gone, so no way to ask him.

Per CB Wellie can draft toight so it looks like Konex and Truelize(waiting for his response) cant... If Truelize can then Konex is the lone ranger...

It's too bad True's not around, tonight would actually be a lot easier for me. I'm going home this weekend so I'd have to rush back to draft on time.

Note,

The draft is only available on the Xbox. Go into the league and enter the draft lobby. You may also prerank your players now just in case you may be a few mins late.

I suggest drafting players quickly instead of waiting for the whole timer just to make that dreaded surprise pick...

I'm pumped. But with all the troubles I've had with high ranked players I have no clue who to draft with the second pick.

Eric Snow??

Yeah, I have absolutely no idea who I should draft, but this is gonna kick ass!

Is the draft similar to pro sports where it goes from 12 person to 1st person's pick or does it go where 12 gets 2 picks in a row then 11th person on down?

I'm so proud of you guys! We didn't have a lot of time to make this decision, but because almost everyone is going to be here it'll go down.


edit: The FAQ online (we can't trust anything though) says it's a snaking draft, just like fantasy leagues...It's the only fair way. So I pick 11th, Matrix picks 12th and 13th, then I pick again.

To be honest, anyone who has been good to you. For instance, you have done great with Lewis, i would try to get him.

REMINDER:


TO DO THE DRAFT, go to the league IN THE GAME, NOT ON THE WEBSITE


Thanks and let's hope it goes well and everyone has fun.

If you find there are no 90 rated players when it's your 2nd round pick, and you are forced to draft an 80, that 80 will count as your 2nd 90 and you can still draft 3 more 80's

Also..If you'd just prefer to draft a certain player in round 2 and he's rated in the 80's, he can count as your 90 as well.

You do not HAVE to draft 2 90's and 3 80's, that's just the max.

The Last Of Us season 2 could run through 4 seasons with a shorter season 2 and a "much larger" season 3. No padding or filler expected.
