Hey all. Given the way the draft has been the last couple of seasons I am proposing a minimum height for defensmen. I dont like editing the game file but there are far to many 5-8 to 5-11 'physical' defencemen being created. I suggest making them a minimum of 6'0. That way they dont take such a massive hit.
This would only be for defencemen. Small forwards would remain the same.
Unless there is major objections, I will implement this at the end of the draft and include the players in this draft.

That sounds like a fair amount of work (considering how many sub-6'0" defensemen there are available in the draft that are pretty terrible) and I'm not sure how I feel about it, to be honest. I'm also not really sure why this only matters for Dmen - this draft may be weak on hitting defensemen, but I've seen plenty in the league as is, while there are a ton of tiny forwards who can't hit worth a dang, in this draft and in the league (not to mention goalie stats are also impacted by the stupid height restriction). What if we instead added it to the spending money thing? Like, spend 5mil (or whatever) to increase the height of a sub-6'0" player to 6'0"? Could have it only apply to under-20s, because then it would more naturally fit with the idea of players having growth spurts at that age. This would mean only a handful of players will be impacted by it, rather than the upwards of 100 Dmen you'd be doing with this plan. |

The alternative is to limit hitting on all players to say 75 or 79. Cap all players at that level and then height is no longer an issue. Yes it is a lot of work initially but it takes out a stat that is fundamentally flawed in its implementation.

I don't know guys...I think that's messing with the file too much +1 to this... there are many other ways to mess with the file that I would prefer over raising the height on D men. Don't know if this is a solution... but why not produce a couple of drafts and sort of pick the one that got it right? Don't remember short D being an issue in 1.16 or 1.15a/b... but man it has been awhile since I have been actively aware of CPU gen drafts. Personally don't think 40/70/90 ceilings make a lick of difference to me, they can all go play D somewhere else in the league... give me them 85+ hitters or nothing. |

We are using 1.15b to create the draft files

Since it's a league wide issue this will come out in the wash as it's a problem that affects everyone. |
