So why make it even more difficult then it is for the moment? 4 and 5 star potential is way better then 1, 2 or 3, but saying that only 5 star potential (= top 20% of potential rating) is all star or better doesn't make sense at all. Fact is that you can't ever be sure, because you don't know for sure what the specs of your draftees were after you drafted them.

You are right. My suggestion, while possible, is not exactly the most logical way to arrange it. Apparently the pools just draw less players in the 5* talent range.

I can confirm MVP is 5*s

How?

Isn't it obvious? He drafted someone with a 4* potential last season who turned to be an MVP.

Nevermind, I missed Mark's post about how the potential was distributed. Which is pretty logical.

Besides that, i was wondering how he could have known that he actually drafted a 4 or 5 star potential player since the draft results only show the order of the picks and how many favored them. But then again he could also be the first one to pick, meaning it doesn't matter.

Initial thought was, how does one draft result prove that a 5 star actually gives a MVP/ATG? How was he so sure that the player was one of his 5 star or 4 star picks?


All in all, my mistake.

The draft shows the order of the picks and how you ranked them in your list. Therefore, you know exactly which player from your list you have picked, and if he was scouted twice, that also means you know the talent star rating

I would actually favour a normal distribution over your flat distribution.

And the normal distribution being.... (??) The more ideas we have about how the distribution is made, the easier it will become to check the facts after the draft is over and determine which distribution is used by BB. So if you have an idea, please share it!

But the thing that's really nebulous is how the current skills star rating is calculated.

I never really paid attention on how it was listed, i've never had a good draft spot to begin with. I thought you only saw 2 types of information in the draft results page. "picks" and "favored". Picks was always nicely numbered from 1 - 48, and favored was kinda varied from ones and two's and in the 30-ish.

And i know when you draft the second time you get the other information. ;)
