MLB Draft Prospects are too weak.

[mikeyg413]

Hi all, loving the game so far. But, I have noticed that draft prospects’ potentials are really low this year. Nick Kurtz is the only 65 potential player and theres only like 10-15 that are a 50 potential or above. Idk if it has to do with how the ratings are calculated now but it just seems very low to me. I posted this on Reddit as well so if any of the developers or people working on the game can clarify if this is a bug or if its running the way it's supposed to, please let me know. Thanks!

(Side note: on my Reddit post, I was made aware that international prospects are stronger than usual. A user commented that two years into a save, Dylan Crews was the highest ranked non-international prospect at #51. Seems weird to me also.)

There's a bug with the international prospects that will be fixed next build.

As far as the real draft guys, the ratings are pretty much correct (Just in my opinion, you can certainly disagree). This is not a super strong draft year, there are really no can't miss guys at the top of the class, whereas last year there were 5-6. Which is not to say those won't change over time and as some guys potentially separate themselves from the class.

Next build at launch on Friday?

I noticed a lot of two way starting pitchers in the 2024 draft. Is that accurate?

Ok thanks! I appreciate the response.
