I got one trainable player, but what frustreates me is that out of all 48 players in the draft, there were only 6 players that were perennial allstar, and not one player above that in potential. I guess the lower divisions (I was in V) get less good players. Is that correct?

I doubt it. I want to believe it is a just a matter of luck.

In my division there were 2 superstars, 2 perennial all stars and 8 all stars. I somehow ended with a superstar and all star yet I'm disappointed because although they both were 5 stars players, they don't have nice skills I would expect from best rated players.

I don't know, but I checked the draft in USA top division, and in just the first 10 or so picks they had several players with superstar or better, and salaries above 6,000. nothing like that in my division.

Well, if you are right then it is a major flaw - no need rich to get richer.

My draft in USA IV.63 had:

2 Perennial Allstar
7 Superstar
1 MVP

Of course I ended up with none of the above... but I promoted, so I can't complain too much.

Maybe the 6 Perennial AS is not so bad, but I don't know if we had a player over 5,000 salary. It could not have been more than one. I'll have to check again. I was only checking for potential when I went through the players.

Now I looked and I agree it looks like rigged - almost half of players are all stars or better (of whole 48). Tried some other I.1 randomly - nothing like that.

Do you seriously think it was rigged? I went through it as well and counted only seven players above allstar. Five were superstar and two were perennial allstar, but one of the perennial allstars has a salary of $1,630!

Don't forget that there were also eight bench warmers.

21 out of 48 players rated as star or allstar. That just seems to be convergence on the average.
