Every feeder league team has several 5 star players- which isn't exactly realistic to either college or high school. Every 3rd or 4th Div I school in college might have a 5 star prospect- and 1 out of every 50 or so in high school- but with 5 or so per team, the talent is disproportional....Is there any way to address this that anyone can think of? Can Markus or RonCo or someone who has a better feel for how the draft is designed comment on a way to make this work...I am a little bummed out that we now have the flexibility to utilize HS and college feeder leagues but are aparently limited to a "magic number" of teams to make the draft operate properly.....Perhaps a variable where we can set the % of draft worthy prospects for our desired feeder system would work- but I don't see how it can be done currently....Help!!!!!!
One gets the impression that a different coefficient is used to define the talent distribution of feeder leagues than what is used for the amateur draft pool, because otherwise it's hard to see why the feeders in particular create problems of talent inflation.
