i think it's more about size of the ML. (whichever league the draft feeds, even if mil in middle)

i could be wrong.. but that should set how many rounds produce fairly decent palyers as well as depth of top-tier talent...

e.g. when i've played a 20team league - 28 - 30 - 40, that's waht i see... talent proportional to league size, regardless of me tinkering with # of rounds in the draft.

the game wants to reach a certain distribution... that's how it would go about doing it. once it's into "mil filler" part of the draft, it takes an act of god just to get potential ratings good enough to progress to the mlb. this is the point when all pitchers have either 1/200 movement or 1/200 control etc.. not sure how i'd describe it for batters.. .but terrible. adding rounds at the bottom is mostly inconsequential unless you add so many that a majore positive TCR becomes 'likely' often with enough players to make a ripple.
