I think the focus should be on ensuring 18yo and 19yo have less very low skills than on giving them higher initial skills.

Young prospects should be more balanced. There should be less players with skills lower than 3. Sometimes just one very low skill ruins the prospect of a youngster even if his TSP is somewhat high.

18 yo can easily upgrade 15 sp in one season with youth trainer. My draft had 18 pops when he turned 19. 3 of them OD 1 PA. I get ur point but i think 15 pops if u know how to use the elastic effect is rather easy.

I think i understood quite well, I play the game from season 11, with 2 breaks.
I was actually talking about the BEST 19yo 75 tsp (out of all the 19 yo draftees) which is the maximum a 19 can get, 19 yo 65-70 tsp right now are extremely rare drafts already, and TSP is nothing without the right potential

I get and respect all of your points especially the one about the value of training, very few managers and even less new managers understand exactly what training can do over short or long periods of time

I didnt see anyone asking for 90 TSP 19 yo drafts this is ridiculous and absurd if someone even asked about that. But a slight increase in total TSP of 19 yo is a good boost to the game, more training prospects, market prices will fall and people will start training more

People want more/all the players in the draft to be trainable.

But there are at least two problems with this:

(1) It is impossible. Every team needs, as average and disregarding trades, one new player every two seasons. If the draft gives 3 players every season, only one sixth of the players will be trainable.

(2) Supply and demand law. If you make more/all players in a draft trainable, then by supply and demand law, the value of trainable players will plummet. The draft process will lose its interest because you will get a trainable player anyway.

So face it, most of the players in the draft have to be scrubs, just as it is now.
