I am not sure if this is the bug, but I wasn't sure where exactly to ask this question.

I have just completed the 5th year of a custom league with fictional players (with a minor league and the junior leagues).

For the first 4 years the NHL draft produced too many good players. Typically the first round was all 5* ability players who would then become the best players in the NHL in their rookie year. Even the seventh rounds would typically produce 2.5* or 3* ability players in these first four drafts.

I was actually thinking about posting a comment about this quirk.

Suddenly in the fifth year of the draft the talent fell off a cliff. The best player available had a 4.5* ability and 5* potential. The next best players available were either two players with 3* ability and potential or a single player with 1/2* ability with 5* potential.

What happened?

Is there any way to balance this so the talent available is less extreme?

There obviously should be some year to year variation in the quality and quantity of players available, but perhaps not this extreme.

Let me know if there is anything that can be done or needs to be adjusted in the settings.

I am curious as to why the game would do this.

Thanks for any help or insight that you are able to provide.
