i'm one of those that think that the quality of top prospects in draft pools is too much different from one pool to another.
i understand what random means and i'm not bitching: i just happen to have a different idea than yours.
There were around 100 All-time great talents placed on human teams in the draft this year amongst 14778 leagues. Even if things were spread out as evenly as possible, fewer than half of the leagues could receive a player better than superstar.
I understand the desire to equalize draft pools. There might be some debate as to whether it's a good thing to do, but regardless I don't think I see a way it might be accomplished. What would you suggest be done?
Don't know if it can be easily done, but you could use constrains.
One constrain could be that there cannot be less than 20 and more than 28 18yo players in each pool, another one that there cannot be more than 2 players with potential above 9 or no more than 5 with potential below 2 (all these are rough numbers, of course)
Once you generate a player (in the exact same way you do now) you can verify if, according to the constrains, he can be added to that pool or has to move to the next one.
