"Have you watched the game film of the first half?"

In Topic: Sneak Peek at the Draft GM App

10 June 2013 - 01:21 PM

Black, last year I inputed my league settings and drafted using the DD pretty default like. Will the draft GM do the same? Taking account my league scoring and VBD? If so ill easily use the Draft GM as I don't tweak the DD other than putting my league settings and "Joes Secret Formula"

 

I think so.  I do NOT know about entering Joe's secret formula. 

 

I have used Draft Dominator for about 5 years.  I mostly use DD to keep me oriented (ie, don't lose sight of player values, by comparing VBD and ADP) during my drafts.  My primary draft 'tool' is a printed/colorcoded spreadsheet that is a combined list of ADP and modified FGB rankings (sort of like taking the average between ADP and actual rankings, which is done by Dodds in his Cheatsheets).

 

Anyways, because of my method, I could likely use my spreadsheet and either DD or Fantasy GM, since I am using basically the same functions on both apps.

 

That being said, I will likely use the DraftGM as my draft board with an Apple TV during my face-to-face drafts and say goodbye to 15' VGA cables.  I commish two leagues, and will enjoy draft day much more with Draft GM.

 

But even as a Mock Draft tool, it's a no brainer, esp for the price.  I never thought I would even want another internet device, but the iPad lets me get away from my 'work' environment PC and watch TV, or lie on the couch, sit outside with the dogs and let's me read my news or check email.  The Draft GM makes doing mocks a breeze.  I will do 10-20 mocks as my drafts approach, so for me it's an excellent tool.  I have used fantasyfootballcalculator in the past in conjunction with Draft Domintaor to do mocks.  There's waiting time and no way to enter keepers on online drafts.  Draft Dominator keeps me in front of my PC.

 

I would probably wait and get the Draft Magazine+ Draft GM together personally, since the value will be very good (assuming $4.99 or less?), even though I have all the magazine content on my PC or via Safari on iPad.  I just prefer to spend a couple of bucks and have the magazine content on my iPad.

I forgot about the ability to trade picks...that is a pretty sweet function and makes the tool especially powerful for managing your league draft on draft day (you can email out the draft afterwards in csv format).

 

I am pretty sure the app does NOT allow re-ranking of players.  I didn't test that function at least. 

 

I am also not sure about synching between iOS devices.  It retained separate data/league entries on each of my devices (iPad, iPhone), but I did not try what Shep mentions above.  I think if you synch both devices with iTunes, you will also be synching all other data with each of those devices. If you are like me, I keep some apps (and alot of content like music) separate between my iPhone and iPad.  They have separate itl ITunes library files that I select when I launch iTunes.   BTW, to do that...keeping two separate devices with separate libraries on the same PC is easily done by holding down SHIFT when you launch iTunes...it will them prompt you to create a new library or choose from one you already have created.

 

I would not underestimate the ease (and fun) of using Draft GM for the iPad for doing mock drafts or to project on the wall during your league draft. 

 

You shouldn't miss out on Draft GM if you fall into any of these categories:

1.  If you find your self doing a lot of mock drafts (you can email results to study later, if you like doing that)

2.  If you need to enter Keepers to make your mock drafts mimic your league draft

3.  You love your iPad and prefer to walk away from your PC when you noodle with Mock drafts, etc.

4.  You want to use your iPad for an easy way to project your league draft onto a TV, wall etc, (assuming you have an Apple TV at your disposal or can get iPad to output some other way)

5.  You want a lightweight but smart and easy tool to help guide your draft, using VBD and ADP...it's more like a Draft Dominator 'lite'.

A bit off topic, but I am assuming all the content that will be available in the Draft Kit/Magazine will also be available (or be derived from) premium content from the paid FBG site?
