The entire scale should be changed…the way the draft is set up currently, every single draftee is for the future; a pick to be trained. So for upper division teams, basically useless for at least 3 seasons if not longer. But in real life, some guys come in ready to go. Why not draft a player who is $60K and ready to start?
I agree that the draft should be more powerful, but I think that would throw off the dynamic of the U21 teams that I really enjoy. I love training, and love making something out of nothing, and I think if you have 18 year old ATG's coming from the the draft at $60k, the U21 teams would be a mess. There might actually be less training, as people see less to work toward. suddenly a $10k 19 year old with SS potential, while still a quality player who could become great, would be undesirable, whereas currently he'd be a god.
I'd say have players with up to about Star potential come out of the draft already capped, or close to it. Basically give the majority of players with lower potential, higher TSP to start out. I came up with a rough scale of how good each potential should be:
Announcer: 100% of cap, ~50 TSP
Bench warmer: 90-100%, ~50-60 TSP
Role player: 90-100% , ~60-70 TSP
6th Man: 80-100%, ~60-80 TSP
Starter: 75-100%, ~65-90 TSP
Star: 75-95%, ~72-92 TSP
Allstar: 60-90%, ~70-95 TSP
PAS: 60-80%, ~73-93 TSP
Superstar: 55-80%, ~75-105 TSP
MVP: 50-75%, ~75-105 TSP
Hall of Famer: 50-75%, ~77-112 TSP
All-time Great: 50-75%, ~80-115 TSP
This makes lower potential players still viable in lower divisions, and makes ATG's actual All-Time Greats. The ranges might still need to go lower for SS-ATG, 105 out of draft is a bit much I feel.
