Here's my 2 cents.

My drafts are horribly weak from a potential rating perspective. only 10-15 players are blue/green on a 20-80 scale with maybe another 15-20 in the yellow and everyone else in the 20s. yes I have scouting on, but have scouting accuracy set to high and have a 10/9 scout...I would think he is accurate.

However...looking at player historys, players are developing into green rated palyers after 2-3 years in the minors. Many players drafted with 30 potential ratings (round 7-13) have ended up as start to All-Star caliber players in my universe, developing into 60-70 overall rated players. I don't know if this is the engine, the development settings I'm using (believe I'm using Skydog and RonCo's settings for my leagues) but I kind of like this. Sure the top picks of a draft usually are "sure things" in terms of becoming major league players but I'm enjoying seeing players develop in the minors out of nothing and becoming day to day key contributers of a major league club.
