The link will be available up until the draftees are populated the following year - so right now, only in the Long Term league.
You'll see the link when you go to Amatuer Draft Preferences.
Oh - I also added in a column so you could see where they ended up being drafted. I think this will make a nice addition.

I have set up an option so that you can view your draft prefs for the previous amateur Draft.The link will be available up until the draftees are populated the following year - so right now, only in the Long Term league.

A couple more suggestions while you're tinkering with that part of Sim Dynasty...
1) Do you think you could make the link to the "Draft Center" from the menu's default to the "Amateur Draft Results" for any league date after March 1, 1951 (or whenever the Amateur Draft happens). Along the same lines, could you also make the "Draft Center" link default to the "Amateur Draft Preferences" page for any league date from September 1 (or whenever the draft pool appears for the league) until the day the draft happens? The reason I ask is because I (and I'm sure others) get kinda tired of having to always make a second click because 99% of the time we don't want to see the Inagural Draft Results.
2) On the "draftprevnew.jsp?mode=old" page, would it be possible to add the team that drafted the player to the extra column? It could either be done with a simple abbreviation or with the team logo. It's not necessary, but I think it's just another way to add "cool" and to the site.

Thanks! I really appreciate getting to see those. That column is also nice. I found myself going through the Draft Results trying to figure out where the guys I ranked highly were drafted.A couple more suggestions while you're tinkering with that part of Sim Dynasty...

B) - I was thinking about adding this as well. I just made the changes. It will show the current team for that player. Its really tough to show who he was actually drafted by. I also made a change so that this page gets loaded by default if there isn't a draft class to rank yet.

A) would be a little tough to do. But it would be nice to have this I agree. I'll keep it in mind.B) - I was thinking about adding this as well. I just made the changes.

Well, you already track the round, pick and year, which I presume is saved in the database as a string... why not just add "by CIN" to the end. Then just take the last three characters of the string, and if they match a current city code, display the logo for that city. It won't work for any drafts that have already happened, but it'll work going forward...

Yeah, that's an idea. Would require a database change and - as you said, wouldn't be backwards compatible.Pages: 1
