Draft & Realism

[redsoxfan31]

I have never done a franchise long enough to find out if this concept comes to fruition. Did SDS program the ability for players to "honor their college/JC commitment" and then come out in a later draft? Can Joe Smith be draft eligible in 2020 as an 18 year old then again as a 20 year old after a 2-year college stint? Or does this not happen in the game? I haven't played a franchise long enough or scouted in depth enough to find this out but was curious if this does ever happen.

I don’t know if players reappear in drafts later years down the road but I’ve definitely scouted players who I’d love to draft only to find they were not available in the draft.

I always assumed that they just went for college. I wish the game gave us more depth regarding the draft and scouting.

They do? That's pretty cool SDS included that in their franchise mode.

Ehh, not as cool as you would think. Leads to far too many 23-25 year olds being drafted, and the players do not get any better going back. So you have alot of high age and low overall players.

Aren't these issues that can be mitigated by editing ages down to normal ages and bumping up their overalls?

Yeah, but if you have to do all of that, what's really the point?

This is the one game that I really wish had custom draft classes!

I love the MLB draft!
