Let's go back to what you said:

On the one hand, the system is WAY too transparent. Draft a guy and wait one preseason and you IMMEDIATELY know whether he'll ever have the potential to be a star. So basically, there are no "true" draft busts in this game, players who look nice but never actually pan out, something that happens dozens of times every year, but never in Madden.
Now to me, that has everything to do with what you said. You draft a guy and you know immediately [you know, all in capital letters] if he can be a star or not... well... not if potential was hidden you wouldn't. If potential was hidden, and OVR for that matter, you are less likely to avoid playing with a bust. How do you define a bust? I see a bust as someone who you draft highly and doesn't pan out for you. A gem is someone you pick late and becomes a star. There are plenty of busts in Madden 09, 10, 11 and I'm sure 12. One of he problems though is that the real rookies all have A potential and there is a flood of A potential players in the game.

I'm sorry, but when did I call you a name?
