Solitaire Draft

[Goldie300]

I was just playing a solitaire game and had an idea that I might implement in my league. I thought I should start having a draft at the end of each of my solitaire seasons to change a little of the performance for each team. I could only think of one realistic way to do this without having to tweak and change bases and paint more men for my current teams, and that is to have a one round draft. After my season ends, the teams will get ranked from worst to best based on record just like an NFL draft. But instead of drafting new players, I will instead pull numbers out of a hat for each team in their corresponding order. These numbers will represent the "new" quarterback for the team. The only way I can make this work realistically is to have a current rating chart for my teams now. So, say one team has a quarterback that has a current rating of 5 out of 5, he would be a Very Good quarterback. So because he is a "5", when that team runs passing plays, I will give him 10 seconds to line up and throw the ball. If another team has a quarterback with a rating of "2", then he is not nearly as good, so for that team I will only give myself 3 seconds to line the pass up and throw the ball. So now I can put a draft into play for the quarterbacks and this can easily make a team better since I am making all the passes in reality. So on the "draft," the team may opt to make a draft pick to try and better their quarterback or they can opt to not make a selection. But to keep from having all teams with a "5" quarterback, then each quarterback can only have a career of 3 or 4 seasons. So, fellow solitaire players, tell me what you think.

Personaly, here's the system I plan to do :

1)tweak enough bases for all my conference teams. One type of bases for line, 1 for QB, one for Wr, etc...

then, I make the recruiting. Picking randomly bases for each team.

Then, I'll play the season, recording stats. I'll know wich players are the best.

Then, at the end of the season, I think I'll simply allow the 2 or 3 worst teams (4,5,6) to swap their worst bases (maybe 3 on the first team, 2 on the 2nd, 1 on the third) with the best bases of the 1,2,3 best teams.

I plan to have a four round draft for 8 teams. I will have a red vs blue college allstar game with tweaked bases to determine the rank of the bases. I also will run a football combine camp to detect speed and strength. That's a good idea for the QB's (5 to 1 rating). I plan to use the passing sticks in my games, therefore, the WR, RB, OFF line and DEF rank higher that a QB.

Those are really intersting idea...but i think i will follow my set and it is to take the current roster of each teams (32 NFL teams) and stand with my 6 game schedule. With that, my wife is not going to kill me and will not take too much time (4 quarters of 10 plays).


But your ideas are really excellent.
