Thanks so much for the feedback. I just completed my first season managing the OHL Windsor Spitfires. Had a good year: top team in the regular season with 111 points and won the Robertson Cub as OHL champions. Had some difficulties in the Memorial Cup, finished the round robin 2-1 and then lost the semi-final game to eventual winners Saint Johns Sea Dogs. Really liked the game play and player management aspect of the game. Not too sure about the scouting and training yet but working my way through it.

The reason for my original enquiry above was because the OHL Priority Selection draft pool for the first season (2015/16) ended up only having 40 players in it. Of the 40, there were only about 5 with 4.5-star plus ratings, a few with 3-star ratings and the rest were 2-star or less. After completing the draft, I was pretty disappointed thinking the game wasn't very realistic seeing as there are supposed to be 15 rounds in the draft and we only had enough players for 2 rounds of drafting. However, I persisted and now in the 2nd season (2016/17), there are over 200 players available in the OHL Priority Selection draft pool (plenty with 5-star plus ratings) and it looks to be much more realistic.

So my new question is: Why were there so few players available in the 2015/16 OHL Priority Selection draft? Any ideas? Just a glitch? Thanks again!
