I don't feel like I've been around for long enough to actually have a good grasp of the issues at hand. What I do know is that I made a horrible player when creating it and if it wasn't for being able to change stuff before approval I would most likely quit or recreated (Defense weakness it start with).

I like the idea of two seasons to draft rookies. It makes the rookies be able to show what kind of player they are looking to make, and give them more time to make an impression.

I had no idea about the SHL team or who played where when draft came around. And I don't think anyone really got an impression about what my player would become after the first season.
Even after my second season I realized my build would be sub optimal and changed it for 12m and ditched my plan to switch late in career.

I think archtypes and two season before draft is a great suggestion even if there's still stuff to iron out.

The delayed draft would shown the true topntier players pretty easy as well.

Thanks for the suggestion.
