So if you skipped 13, you won't notice a big change.

And yes, the AI evaluation of high-quality relievers (and of pitchers with 2 good pitches and a rudimentary third pitch) was changed a lot in OOTP14, for the better. The AI will now draft top college closers at the end of the 1st round, just like real life teams do.
I don't disagree with you about the realism: yes. the current draft is more realistic.

It's just not any fun any more, and I and others used to get a lot of enjoyment out of the draft. I'm not saying that we should go back, just that in our continuous quest for more realism we lost something fun along the way.

So, yes, you're right about the draft. But I still feel a loss.

According to OOTP itself, OOTP MLB play (modern and historical) outnumbers OOTP fictional play three to one.

Five thousand thanks for a non-modder? I never thought I'd see the day. Thank you for your support.
