OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Prospect Lists include too many Rookie Leaguers

General problem in OOTP 17: The teams' prospects lists are loaded with rookie league players, which is quite unrealistic. In real life top prospects have already shown their qualities in at least A+ or higher leagues.
Cause of the problem seems to be the inflated potential ratings of the draft pool and rookie league players. This is a change from previous ootp editions and is intended to simulate 'the hype' surrounding drafted players.
An unintended consequence is the overestimation of these players on the various prospect lists.Therefore a tweak is neccessary to put less weight on potential ratings and more on level of minors and/or stats achieved at the higher minors.
