For the umpteenth year: Franchise Mode + Legends + Fantasy Draft = SDS becomes sTooPiD and haz no brainz
-
I like to begin a Franchise with a fantasy draft, and I'd rather use legendary players than not. The issue with this continues to be a very, very stupid one: every iteration of a legendary player card is available in the draft automatically....I'm assuming most players who want Willie Stargell in their fantasy league don't want three Willie Stargells in their fantasy league.
I realize that there is a workaround for this by adjusting rosters manually prior to the draft, but that is a slow and tedious pain in the derrière. I've done it before. If you want the best iterations of every legendary player, it takes at least 20-30 minutes of tedious roster adjustments. WHY WOULDN'T THE DEFAULT BE ONE DRAFT-ABLE CARD PER LEGEND?? The crazy cloned legend multiverse can still be an option, but that's the option which should require the tedious roster adjustments, not the other way around.
Also, some of the legendary starting pitchers get classified as relievers for no apparent reason. 98 Bob Gibson with 99 Stamina shouldn't be considered a reliever. I realize he pitched in relief a few times at the bookends of his career, but there was never even a single season in which he relieved for the majority of his appearances.
