For me, the only really annoying part of OOTP was the amateur draft-- specifically, the age ranges of the draftees. The 6.02 patch claims to have more realistic age ranges, which would be cool if it were true, but it's not. In fact, it took a huge step backwards. The high school ages range from 16(!) to 19, and collegians go up to 24 (24!), when before they topped out at 23. How is that "more realistic?" It seems to me that the proper age ranges are-- it's really not that hard-- 17-18 (with perhaps the odd 19-year-old) for high schoolers, and 20-21 (with the occasional 22-year-old) for collegians.

Incredibly. Frustrating. Gragh! The game is still outstanding, don't get me wrong, but how on earth could Markus et al. make such an incredibly obvious error, then represent it as being more realistic?
