I have done ZERO actual analysis on this (I know OOTP does and other users probably have as well) But the anecdotal evidence from my first few v21 seasons is that there does seem to be less potential then in the past - some of this could be very much as designed because the OWA still rates many players higher. It is my "outstanding" scout and the ability to now scout year round and not just for 30 days that leads my organization to know they have lower potential.

I think what is missing from the discussion is the player POTENTIAL not what they turn out to be.

While I agree that historically most drafts only turn out a few outstanding players - when drafted most teams think the top guys have tremendous potential.

a better reflection would be 10-15 players in each pool who are potential 70+ ( I hate star ratings) but only a few actually reach that potential.
