Just my 2 cents and obviously SDS doesn't care which is fine. It's their game.

I feel the complete opposite here tbh.

Every franchise I’ve ever had long term needs Draft Class editing to reduce the potentials. Prospects in this game never flame out. They almost always hit their potential mark.

That + base roster having so many B and A potentials completely shatters any realism.

On ‘23, I’ve done a 15 year sim to test if they adjusted progression or regression (they have not)

In 2023, using the base roster, there are 30 90+ OVR Players

In 2028, there are 60+ 90 OVR players

In 2038, there are 75+ 90 OVR players.


It gets to the point where you have 84 OVR Pitchers still in AAA because rotations are so loaded.


Luckily you can use custom rosters that reduce these potentials to help with this issue, but Draft Classes still must be edited.

It’s unfortunate that they are not Customizable. That feature should have been added years ago.
