I have a question that's off topic as well i'm hoping this was just in my franchise, there seem to be a lot of big name free agents like lincecum, pujols, longoria, matt cain and a bunch more has anybody else seen this?

Re: Information--amatuer draft MLB10--bug?

Has anyone who has been simming seen any change in player's potential? I just finished simming year 2 and every player has the exact same potential as he started with. Well all of them that are on the thread started by Rags earlier this month. Just curious if it takes a certain amount of years for it to change or maybe its just this franchise?

It really is hard to keep track off all the players in the game for that. I was thinking about doing the same thing.

So... did we ever reach a conclusion regarding the amateur draft?

I just did my first draft in Season mode. In the 1st round, there were 4 position players drafted, 3 of them being catchers. There were 26 pitchers drafted. The Supplemental round was all pitchers. In the 2nd round, there were 2 position players drafted compared to 28 pitchers. The 3rd round saw 12 position players drafted. The 4th and 5th rounds were ENTIRELY position players.

Err... that doesn't look right.

Actually that is in-line with past seasons drafts. In the 4th and 5th rounds, all that is left are position players and usually they are always D and F's in potential. I'm surprised that there were still pitchers in the third round, last year they were gone by the second.

Re: Information--amatuer draft MLB10--bug?

In my test runs so far in the first season, there are a ton of pitchers that are A potential in the scouting pool, but I have never seen more than 10 starting pitchers available in the draft. Perhaps the second or third year is different, I can't say for sure, but the first season seems fine. There are not very many A potential position players from what I can tell based on scouting so far, but certainly enough A and B guys to last at least the first round. I wouldn't want that many A potential players of any position in the draft, especially if their potential rating has the ability to change in the future.

From all I've heard , player don't change potential letter grades in a single year, at least most of the time. You won't see a player go from B to A in 1 year's time. You will see a player go from Low B to high B in a year's time. I expect it would take 2-3 years for a player to change a letter grade, assuming they don't regress 1 year and progress another.

Re: Information--amatuer draft MLB10--bug?

Just FYI on 30 team control and the drafts....another great reason to use 30 team control.
If you go into the REGIONAL SCOUTING area of each team(AS SOON as you start spring training).....deselect AUTO......and manually click on position player boxes for each team(leaving pitchers unchecked)...you can heavily influence any draft.
I've done it where I had as few as 15 pitchers drafted(I think 20 was the most) for an entire draft.(obviously this is an extreme)....
What I'm trying to say is....if you feel too many pitchers are entering your league....you can stem the flow....increase it.....have some teams go pitch heavy....whatever you like.
Play around with it a bit...you'll have fun seeing what you can do.

So in the real mlb there are 5 times as many great pitchers as hitters?

Really? I'm not being facetious, you really think that the draft is fine as it is? Personally I'm a little bothered by the glut of pitchers.

I understand that there's a workaround (the one you just posted), but if the draft is producing weird results out of the box, it could probably stand to be tweaked.

Or maybe the draft is working just fine and the extreme pitcher bias is a symptom of a different problem.

Re: Information--amatuer draft MLB10--bug?

Fine?...no probably not.
I would probably like to see more position players coming out opposed to pitchers also.
I just found the question in the way he asked..funny.
