I have to wonder if the talent
DEflation witnessed by myself and several others is a result of the opposite situation: too few players being generated. Our parent league is 24 teams (25-man rosters). The feeder system includes one 40-team league and one 20-team league, each with 31-man rosters and 4-year age spans. The parent league's Draft Feeding Mode is set to "Feeder League Players only".
With 24 teams in the parent league and 20 rounds for the draft, we need 480 players to graduate from the feeder system each year to fully populate the draft. Our setup produces right about that 480 number. In testing I've found it usually produces between 490-505 players, although this season it only produced 470 players (so we're going to be short during the final round.
You could probably label our feeder system as "lean"; it produces just enough players to populate our draft, with little to no extras. Maybe the game is very sensitive to the number of players coming out of the feeder system each year, with talent rapidly tailing off if there's just enough to populate the pool or inflating if there's a bunch of excess being produced?
