I actually prefer the talent distribution this year, it seems somewhat more realistic. Drafts have variation too, as everyone has seen the early ones are crap. There are odd things like way way too many Relief Pitchers in later rounds. Pitcher/Batter ratio is wackier than in real life. But in later years, many drafts have high curves for talent.
The issue is they simply toil in the minors too long. You just won't see players making early impacts the way you do with a Jackson Holliday or Wyatt Langford, etc. There are several young players OOTP 25 adores and will make gods based on their prospective ratings right now (Elly), but that won't happen for fictional players, not within the same timeframe. I think that adds an unrealistic pall around new talent, but it's not that new talent doesn't exist.
Anyhow, I'll quit banging the drum about it. I feel confident they know there's work to be done in the Draft/Development. As I said before, I think this is a strong release with a lot of new things going on they seem to have done well.
