Draft auto select

Probably minor since anyone with rudimentary knowledge sets their list manually.

Having not done so out of laziness, for the upcoming draft in Cust-10 the algorithms have determined top of my draft board would be...

https://cust10.myfootballnow.com/player/5393

Seriously? I'd not even have the guy selling food in the stadium...

If for whatever reason I'd not have been able to set my board, you're looking at picking an UDFA quality player in the first round, meaning contract gets voided instantly meaning wasted first rounder.

Funny thing is he was at the top of mine too. I reselected AUTO and the queue looks better.

But man, had he gotten autoselected ... I would have been ticked. Lol

Your teams must REALLY need a long snapper.

It seems that in nearly every aspect of this game, the more decisions you can keep the AI from making for you, the more successful you will be.

A pick like that is worse than just a bad decision. If a human made that pick he'd get accused of tanking.

EDIT: I just realized he is at the top of my board now as well. What in the world is going on? I'll bet some unlucky owner is going to end up drafting this player and have a wasted first round. If he's a newbie, get ready for another team in CUST-10 opening up.

Thanks for the report - I figured out what was going on and have fixed it. What happened is that the system is supposed to run the auto if you have no preferences set when you load that page, but it was not running as expected. The good news is that you actually wouldn't have selected that player (unless you had opened up the preferences and edited them, which would have saved it), because the selection process also checks and runs the 'auto' if no preferences have been set, and that was still working.

It doesn't matter why, though, the good news is that it has been fixed.
