Taking a "wait and see" postion

Interesting. After clicking Perfect Scouting, for each new 2013 season game the 1st round rookies have different ratings. I started a new league 3 times.

Should have a clear draft talent pool for today or tomorrow, I'm just working to get the numbers correct in order to water down the talent.

I doubt it needs to be a very large 'watering down' at all. Just enough to push the higher end of the draft talent's peak skill down a bit.

On the other hand, it didn't seem to be quite as much of an issue with linemen in the past. They probably just peak slower than "finesse" position players but I still don't recall them hitting the Overall 90+ range near as often as the rest. Nor QBs either. So I'm thinking it was either the positional skill rating advancement that was off for some positions, or the way the Overall rating was calculated that just favored Finesse positions more.

I find the Offensive linemen drafted in the 1st round of 2013 have too low of a rating. The #1 pick overall had a 67/71 rating? I am not sure offense lineman ever have a good rating in Mogul drafts.

Try using this file. Let me know how this looks and I'll alter it from there. Thanks!

Instructions on how to install file:

(1) Startup FBM

(2) Go into options and select "Open Game Folder"

(3) Replace the "Draft Talent" text file within that folder with the new file.

I gave up on both baseball mogul and football mogul only because Clay refuses to add new features to either game and fix the problems that continue. Football mogul was never a good sim and the reason why is that Clay refuses to fix these nagging problems like adding expansion teams to the current league. Clay has no plans to fix these problems or the bugs in the game. The bugs in football mogul continue to get bigger and bigger all the time and he never fixes them. The patches are so terrible that I wouldn't buy this game for any money at all.

There are a few small things, these are in 2013 as well as 2014, You can only add one team for example Tampa Bay in 1976 but not both Tampa and Seattle, you have to add them one team per year. Second in the finance section the NFL titles is messed up, for example in 1970 Cincinnati has won 8 titles since its first year in 1968. And I like to hide the overall/peak numbers. Since FM does not have the hide peak button I edit it myself but the linebackers refuse to be edited. The linebackers are all 78/80 for some reason, its always two numbers apart. But its only the linebackers, last year it was the Quarterbacks but that was resolved. Nothing major but just stuff that bothers me.
