No, I think it did before, but there was a lot of false gold as people have pointed out in this thread.
Now, there is nothing to do but choose between 1-star prospects. You might as well let the AI auto-draft for you because there is nothing to differentiate 99% of the pool.
This point has nothing to do with what comes after the draft. It is only about the draft process itself, and what makes it interesting vs. boring.
I draw an analogy to RPGs. Serious players want to do long involved quests to get the premium rewards. Casual players revolt, because they want to get the same reward with less effort. (I paid for the game so I deserve it.) In the end, casual players (i.e. customers) out-number the hardcore players so the game is always dumbed down to the point where everyone has an equal chance at the Awesome Sword of Instakill. I am not saying that OOTP14 adopted a new draft model for this reason, but the results seem similar to me.
I would like to see a middle ground with more prospects that show promise and more failures. i.e. more like it was before.
