I really like it... the accuracy is crappy enough that each team "misses" enough prospects in the draft that you have the possibillity of finding decent players after round 1-2 (3ish in deep years?). since they are falling, i figured i'd tone the TCR down... that's the ONLY effect i like about it -> late round surprises being possible. however, everything else about it poops on reality.

peoples genetics and physical ability (potential) do not change... they either realize it, don't work hard enough to realize it, or they never had it. your eyesight will not improve going 4-4. you do not gain any muscles playing a good game of baseball vs a bad day of baseball. change requires a cause relative to a person's ability to play baseball... it never randomly happens. that would equate to magic.

defaults are very unlikely far off from a decent proposed "average" for what it controls... every change you make likely makes other things out-of-balance too. so, the more you change the less likely it's realistic.


YesI have never been a fan of TCR at all. I would rather a system where players either reach their potential, don't reach it, or somewhere in between. To me, TCR just seems a bit contrived.
