Insanely High Number of Draftees...

[Robmeister89]

For a 32-team league there are 640 draftees.. 416 of them will go undrafted.. that's a huge waste of players! In PF16 for a 32-team league the minimum was 384. At least that one only had 160 undrafted players.. now we'll have more than twice as many just sitting in free agency waiting to retire.!

It went up to 544 in DDSPF 16. I just checked and it still took 544 with no CPU generated added.

I've only ever used custom draft classes. I've always used just 385 in PF16 and it doesn't add players.

Hmm. It did for the wwpf. We had to add a to to our old system.

Strange. Maybe it was the NFL format that went up but 32 team custom has been 385 for the longest time...

I don't think the 544 or the 640 number is all that outrageous. Don't teams usually stock up on up to 90 players prior to the beginning of preseason? That would make the potential number of active players prior to the regular season start somewhere around 2400.

I don't recall changing this from 16 to 18, but maybe we did. Regardless, having more players gives a better spread and better mid-tier players, so I'm not really worried about a couple hundred extras at this point. We'll keep an eye on it though.

Tell that to my game that's asking for 640 players instead of 385 now

Ok, I'll add it to the patch list. Exactly how many players should there be?

I thought 385 was a good number.. Still a ton of undrafted but it's what I've been using for the longest time.
