I disagree that the pool in the attached photo is realistic. No five star potential players. Only 2 higher than 3 star? Only 5 higher than 2.5? We're talking about potential. There should be a couple players with superstar potential and a few more with greatness potential in a typical draft pool. Either there is something wrong with my player generator settings, my scouting settings, or the game itself.

This also makes the draft a whole lot less fun. By the time I get to my first pick, the best players left will have a potential rating of, at best, a future bench player or middle reliever. At the end of the first round you aren't going to get superstars, but there should be players left with the POTENTIAL to be regular big leaguers.

My scouting maximum is at the league maximum, and 32% of it is going to amateur scouting. I don't know what other problems there could be on my end.
