This may sound stupid but I haven't noticed a difference between OOTP 14 and OOTP 12 (skipped 13) in terms of the draft. I did just get 14 when it was on sale but I have basically always simulated after round 1 in the draft, in both OOTP's. I never noticed an abundance of flame-outs or more/less 5 star potential players in either version. Maybe if I looked for a difference I would notice something but in OOTP 12 occasionally I would have a guy that the computer drafted in the 20th round etc. make it big for me. I haven't noticed in 14 yet because I'm not necessarily far enough in to have a ton of prospects make it yet. It could be because I don't micromanage too hard and move through seasons pretty quickly though too.

I will say this though; in 12 there would always be a ton of high potential relievers at the top of the draft that the computer wouldn't touch for a few rounds so I would always be "stuck" with a great bullpen, and I have noticed that the computer does draft relievers in this version early on, which is better, if it does make it more challenging to have a great bullpen.
