  • Staff Draft will be done using in game settings

    Until conscriptor can accommodate the staff draft, we will be doing the staff draft using the in game preferences.

    Ben did some work outlining this process.

    I've done some testing on it and as best as I can tell, it works how we'd expect. To access it, after you "Retain Staff," hit the "Finished with Renegotiations" button. I'm finding that if you set the hiring threshold to 100, it will go and find the best guy available even if your team has been winning lately. That seems to be the appropriate setting for nearly everyone this season.

    The other positives I see about this option:

    1. We get the staff draft done quickly.
    2. Either way we go, there are going to be AI picks. Having tested the in-game bits, I think the logic there is pretty doggone sound. I can't speak for how Conscriptor will make decisions for people who miss picks.
    3. Apart from the AI, there could be bugs in Conscriptor for this first-ever staff draft. I've already encountered one major one in that I can't get the draft set up in it right now, so I can't even test it.

    EDIT TO ADD THIS CHART:



    And here's the relevant help file text that was used to create the chart:
    Coaches are rated for their ability to develop players as well as their ability to develop young players. They are rated for their ability to motivate players, which is valuable only for head coaches during a game. They are rated for discipline, which is valuable only for head coaches and affects a team's propensity to commit penalties. They are rated for play calling, which is valuable only for offensive and defensive coordinators. They are rated for interviewing ability, which affects the accuracy of information gleaned from scouting combine interviews. They are rated for scouting, which affects the accuracy of scouting players. Intelligence is displayed, but is part of a series of attributes that will be used in future development of Front Office Football.


    Your coaches and coordinators, with the exception of the strength coordinator, all develop players and scout players. The offensive coordinator plays a bigger role with offensive players. Your defensive coordinator plays a bigger role with defensive players and your assistant coach plays a bigger role with special teams players. When developing talent, having a head coach and/or an assistant coach that matches the position group of the player can often give the player a development boost.


    Strength Coordinators are rated in strength training, which primarily helps with recovery from injuries. They are also rated in conditioning, which provides some help with recovery, and is mostly useful in helping players avoid injuries.

      Well it looks like I'm going to have to be very careful in the draft because my staff's scouting ability and interview ability is poor across the board.

        How is it that cosmically my team sucked forever, and somehow I am picking next to last in the staff draft? God hates us.

          The staff draft will still occur in-game with your preferences. There just isn't an app for us to do it on the web yet.

            I believe staff draft order is set by how much money you made last year.

                read the above a few times and I think I get it.

                Things are more interweaved now.

                except the Strength coach seems to be on their own

                  Yes, the head coach is now involved in player development and scouting/no play-calling.
