All Pro Football 2k8 - Season 5 Draft - The Draft Has Started!

Pages

Here we go again, guys. The draft has started. I wrote a script that randomly drew names. Here's what I got.

The current draft order I have is...

1. ertic
2. Staats
3. frankiemumbles
4. Farscry
5. firesloth
6. maxox
7. ruthlessmuffin
8. Jayhawker
9. Gumbie
10. DSGamer

Suggestions for a smooth draft.

************************************************************************

- Check this thread as frequently as makes sense for you.

- Feel free to use sorting to help you figure out who to select. Drop this spreadsheet into your own copy, whatever you need to do. Just please be careful not to erase any data and not to leave the spreadsheet in a sort order you chose. Leave it in the default sort by last name of the player.

- Do not change the sorting on the Owners sheet

- Once you've made your selection type in the player's name in "Selection" column of the "Owners / Draft Order" sheet for the row of your pick. This way we know who each person selected and when.

- On the "Players" sheet find the player you wish to select and put your name in the "Picked By" column for that player.

- Also on the "Players" sheet for ease of use please select the first and last name of the player you just selected and click "Strikethrough" on the Edit tab. This way we can quickly see at a glance if someone is off the board.

- Post back to this thread stating that you're done selecting and name who's up next on the draft board.

************************************************************************

Sorry if this all seems obvious, but I wanted to be clear. Hopefully if we follow these steps it will go quickly and smoothly and efficiently.

See here http://www.gamerswithjobs.com/node/46590 for the thread where we discuss the draft.

Quick hijack... I haven't been to the Sports board in ages! Didn't know APF2k8 was still being played! Was looking at it at Gamestop a few days ago thinking of NFL2k5. Do you guys play regularly?

We played regularly for a while, but then people got busy with other stuff. We're trying to start it up again here. You should grab it. Shouldn't be more than $10. And a lot of us will definitely be playing during the draft.

By the way -- was this post meant for the Games & Platforms forum or the sports forum?

If the latter, it might be a good idea to post it again over there...

How hard was it to get a script that guaranteed Frankie and Maxox picked ahead of Ruthless in the first round?

And that didn't give you the last pick? Wow...wait, you don't make your living coding, do you?

It was supposed to be in Sports. Moved it. As for the order, I don't suck, I'm just too honest.

Is the spreadsheet info in our email then? I should be able to access that when I get home tonight. I'll try to keep on top of the drafting stuff.

Yes, the spreadsheet info is in your email.

This is the key I got. If it's universal, then run off of that.

Awesome, that link worked perfectly for me. No one's picked anyone yet, I'll check into the sheet periodically.

Check this thread. This is where we announce our picks.

Added the discussion thread for the draft, so let's try to keep discussion there.

That is so not fair! Grrr...

Staats, you are on the clock.

Just got back from a long trip, I'll start digging around tonight, unless someone has an awesome sauce choice to suggest.

Start taking the guys Ruthless likes?

What is this turned into screw muffin or what. Are you that afraid

You've just pounded us with the same guys for long enough that we would like to see how you do without Marino and Rice. Oh, and we we hate you!

Staats goes with... Albert Lewis!

frankiemumbles is up.

Also, Farscry, if you're as overwhelmed as I am, I'm just reading the old thread and copying everyone's picks.

With 3rd pick frankiemubles selects wr Jerry Rice. Farcry is on the clock

Interesting!

My workday is absolutely blitzing me right now, but I should have my pick selected by late afternoon hopefully.

Oh heck, I'm gonna go with my gut.

ROD WOODSON, I CHOOSE YOU!

Firesloth's turn!

With pick number 5, I select Tom Brookshier (CB, Bronze).

Maxox is on the clock!

Pick 6 is Dan Marino Gold QB.

Ruthless is on the clock.

With Pick 7 Ruthless take TE Ben Coates

Jayhawker you are on the clock

I think that was a shot across the bow of the USS DSGamerish...

Give me a sec...

With the 8th pick, I will take CB Lem Barney

Gumbie is on the clock!

Can someone fill in the spreadsheet, as I am about to head to class?

I updated it for you Jayhawker (ruthless you missed a few sheets I got those filled out too)

With the 9th pick, Gumbie selects HB Christian Okoye

DSGamer is on the clock!

No, Gumbie is the one who screwed up my entire draft. Thanks alot...

Also, one clarification. We've always done a snake draft and I didn't have that properly reflected in the spreadsheet. It's that way now. So if you picked recently, you'll pick soon.

With the 10th pick DSGamer selects Silver Quarterback Randall Cunningham.
With the 11th pick DSGamer selects Silver Tight End Todd Christensen.

Gumbie is on the clock.
