I really like the new draft. I dislike how expensive it is though. I pay around $20k a week which is probably on the high side for a playoff team and can't even come close to scouting all the players.
First, I really shouldn't complain about the draft because it makes me lose even more interest in this game.. and there really is very little interest to lose at this point.
Second, I do agree. The new draft system is much better. However, it still is way too random for me; random in a negative way. You can sort of discern the weakness of the player from the box score I suppose. But in the end, you can do everything correctly, draft a stud with 5k+ wage and hall of fame potential, and have a virtually untrainable player because that one core skill just sucks way too much.
Third, don't ask me for a better solution other than adding an option to spend enough on scouting an actual individual skill. Maybe spend a crap load of points to scout a players actual skill. Who knows.
Good luck with it guys, I really hope it works out for someone.
