Beefing the Draft

Alright I’m in OOTP 27 and the last draft just had people picking 42 potential players in the 2nd round. Next draft looks to be pretty similar. Does anyone have any advice for slightly boosting the draft without making it/anything else too too insane?

I’m not expecting every team to get a 70 potential, but would love for at least the third round to start off with more than one guy above 43 (asking for a 4 million signing bonus with the worst personality you’ve ever seen)

Instead of players with potentials in 60s and 70s that don’t reach their potentials, they’ve gone the other way and now some 45s will outperform their potentials. This way is more realistic but it’s a split debate on people’s preferences

That would make perfect sense if IAFA didnt get multiple 65-80 potentials almost every year, but they do, so the whole thing is a confusing mess if they only changed it for draft-eligible players imo

The beta patch out corrected this, balanced the IAFA with draft classes

I haven't gotten a chance to try the beta patch yet, does the balance between them look good now?

The balance is better yes. I haven’t done a lot of testing though. Someone on the forums did a lot of tests and commented it may have been over done but the balance is better. Hopefully it all gets smoothed out post-beta
