Lowest Draft Pick to Make It?

Has anyone had a really low-rated player ever become a star for a sustained time? Watching players develop can be entertaining. Additionally, has anyone seen really large jumps in player ability...like over a few years, the 25 potential player went to 50 and then fulfilled it?

With Recalc off? I'm curious about the factors or environments that fostered a great improvement. I understand there's no strict formula, I just want to better comprehend the breeding ground.

You can make it happen more often with 2 different settings.

TCR - talent change randomness a 0-200 value you set. global settings or players & facegen tab? higher setting is greater random changes in potential. 100 is default.

Scouting Accuracy - if you lower this just 1 tick to "Low" you'll see more mlb quality prospects much later in draft than normal -- not necessarily easy for you to get them, but they are there and it's the same fog for every gm.

@ normal you can rarely find a good prospect by round 7-10ish? depends on how high you set the threshold. you can't even find many decent AAA-er quality MiL lifers at 10-12 and higher. ofc, i do overspend on scouting. a more modest budget may see things a bit later in comparison.

i've been waffling between very low and low scouting. I think i have a 14th rounder in my HoF and he wasn't a TCR spike. i think that was on 'Low' accuracy. i set TCR very low. imo, in rl players don't randomly change. players aren't late round suprises because scouting is inherently imprecise.

using both of these options in tandem could make it extremely difficult to target future talent in the draft, and therefore late round suprises would happen much more often.

the more difficult it is to speculate about future talent, the more likely you'll see awesome players later in the draft.
