Draft superstars

[jofos]

So, I haven't made it far only made it to 2028. The issue is the rookie draft has enough five star players for the entire first round. The 2027 draft was basically the same. I know scouting can be wrong so I turned on commish mode and looked. 25 batters with better potential numbers than Mike Trout. This seems like it could be a good thing since I draft 29 but it kind of ruins the game when everyone is a superstar.

I've often seen this with poor scouts. But also, most high school players won't reach this potential, and you'll see it slowly (or quickly) move down over 2-3 seasons. I had the #1 overall pick one year and he went from 5* to 1.5* within 3 seasons. Just because he could be as good as Mike Trout, doesn't mean he will be.

It's not scouting. When it happened for the second year in a row I went to commissioner mode and checked the players with editor contact potential was 140-160 and power potential was 170-190. There were 21 hitters in the 2028 draft pool like this.

It does look like in some cases we're generating too many players with too high potentials. We're taking a look at this and will fix up any issues.

In the meantime a quick fix if you're seeing this might be to reduce your PCM's by 10% or so and delete the players in the pool and regenerate the draft pool, and things should look a lot better.
