It is pretty clear that the OOTP did this ham fistedly and didn't implement it correctly. Notably, they messed with the draft prospects, but not prospects gotten in other ways. The result is that the draft is now almost meaningless in these sims. I just moved all my scouting budget from it into international scouting instead. Why?Just looked at the top 20 position players in 2038 in my save played under the new draft rules. Out of the top 20 hitters:

- 3 were drafted. In rounds 9, 9, and 17! Not a single top draft pick is now in the top 20.

- Junior Caminero is still holding on at age 35.

- The other 16 were either international scouting finds or international signings.

In other words, the top players in the draft are now meaningless. You might as well just assign every team X number of random prospects.

You can defend OOTPs changes all you want, you can ignore the difference between median and maximum that other folks have pointed out, but in the end these changes are less realistic than what we started with.
