Whomever wrote the programming for the bots in the Auction Mock drafts doesn't understand Auction drafts. The mock drafts are completely useless if there are any bots because the bots are programmed to automatically jump to their highest possible bid. You can't ever get a realistic idea of how your Auction draft is gonna go unless you're lucky enough to have all human participants in a mock who are all logged on. I could literally write a better program than this. Please have them fix this so that the bots only bid in $1 increments above the current highest human bidder, that way bots will bid realistic amounts for players and will not completely ruin Mock Auction drafts.

CHAT FEATURE...
Could you bring back the CHAT BOX in Mock drafts, I used to use your CHAT BOX in Mock drafts to look for people to play in my leagues.
I am looking to find a League to join in for myself, but there is no CHAT in Mock drafts. Could you make a Message Board on the Fantasy Football page perhaps ?
We need a tool or way for Fantasy footballer's to find other ways to unite or join other leagues.

Please fix the BOTS/AUTO PICK in your Auction draft rooms. Your BOTS/AUTO PICK start a bid at a players Max or Ceiling value, instead of how an Auction works where the bid starts low and highest bid gets player.
I kring whenever I see someone loose connection in my Auction draft & that person goes to AUTO PICK. Because the player that is currently being bid on, the Bot on Auto pick throws in a bid at that players highest value that totally screws up the draft.
Please make your Bots on Auto pick to pick more like HUMANS !

Different formats and roster build rooms.
Immediate autodraft with no countdown when people leave for faster drafts.
Improved A.I. for autodrafting teams. K's and DEF's should almost never be going as early as round 10 let along round 5 where they often start. That's ridiculous and screws up expectations.
Make an automated version where people can just practice against bots with varying strategy algorithms.

Have both types available. Those that CAN use auto draft and those that CANNOT. I don't believe that you get a true experience (especially in Auction drafts) when so many players post the autodraft from the very beginning. Make it so users understand that once you go in to a mock draft, you are in until the end, or at least until 3/4 of the way thru.

I haven't been able to use auto draft since Yahoo made it impossible to exclude multiple players at a time. Completely useless going 1 at a time.

This is nearly useless in Salary Cap drafts. Even a moment of lost internet connection will initiate auto-draft based on default yahoo dollar rates that rarely match individual league set up rules. Auto pick will bid on players at much higher rates than would normally occur.

Autodraft is awful and mostly because I have no real control. I want to be able to pick maximum and minimum amounts of each position. I want to be able to build triggers into my draft. If 5 RBs come off the board and I don't have an RB then my next pick has to be RB or do not pick a kicker until the last round and a D/ST until the second to last round. If 3 of these 5 TEs go off the board then my next pick should be TE. etc... Auto draft would be SO much better with this. Being able to reorder all players is great for somethings but without putting limits for positions in it just makes us end up with too many of certain positions.
