Yup, yup.
One annoying thing I've noticed is that there is basically 0 talent after the 10th pick. Sometimes even after the 5th pick. Almost all rookies after pick 5 have 50-60 potential. That's fine on it's own, but since the entire NBA (the real players) have potentials of 70+, what I imagine will happen is that the 1st five picks in each draft will eventually find themselves starting somewhere and the rest of every draft will be out of the league. This will create a situation like every sports game before 2k11 has: real players will dominate the league until they retire.
I guess it's a players union issue (that they can't bring NBA player's potential down to reasonable numbers), but why do it to the draft picks if you can't do it to the real players?
I'm not sure how to deal with it. I've already edited two draft classes potential down 10, which essentially means that everyone after pick 5 has a 55 potential. Maybe that was a mistake. But there were still 95 Potentials, which bothered me.
I'm not saying that 2/3rd's of every draft isn't out of the league in 5 years irl, because they are. What I'm saying is, both the HUM and the CPU recognize high potential one way or another, draft them in the top 5 and then it's all 50's from there-- meaning Rajon Rondo is not going to happen, ever. Luc Richard, not going to happen. Landry Fields, not going to happen. Etc.
Should a guy with a 75 potential be available in the 2nd rd? No probably not. But a 69 after pick 5, yes.
This was definitely something they did to the rosters. It wasn't like this before.

Greenie,
One thought on a possible "workaround". Create a spreadsheet with the # draft pick in column A and a bunch of potential edits in column B (i.e., -15 to +15 or something - you can probably figure out a better group of numbers than I can) and then =rand() in column C. Then sort by column C and edit potentials for each of the draft picks based on the "roll of the dice". A little time consuming, but that hasn't stopped you before
This would all be done after the draft so as not to impact the CPU's picks (or your own for that matter).
Anyway, just a thought...
