Online Sports League Idea

I don't really jump into online leagues for sports games. I have played in some for Madden. I was thinking about an idea for Online Sports Leagues. I'm not a big fan of ratings because people just grab the best rated team even if they don't like that team. I think Connected Franchise works in Madden.

In basketball things get a little tougher because the individual player is more important. People want to have LeBron, Durant or Griffin on their team.

What if the Online League in NBA 2k or NBA Live was a fantasy draft? The commissioner picks a team and then starts the league. Everyone who joins just picks a team. Everyone could set up pre-draft rankings and the type of players they want to go after. So if you want Point Guards and Shooting Guards you would pick them first just in case you can't make the draft.

As soon as you pick a team you must do pre-draft rankings and the type of players you want to go after so nobody can claim they didn't get a chance. Maybe a day before the draft, the order is given out and you can readjust your pre rankings.

The draft order should always be random. This makes things more interesting. The commissioner would not be able to fix the league and give people a better draft position. The commissioner should also be able to select the amount of time people could keep their teams.

So if you want people to keep their fantasy teams for 3 seasons then after 3 seasons they just do another fantasy draft with or without all the new players that have been added from previous seasons. If you want to do a new draft after one season you should be able to. The draft order would always change giving players a chance to pick different players.

Again this is just a concept I came up with. Do you like the idea, if so what would you add or change about it? Do you like playing in online leagues? What are your thoughts on this idea?
