We are beginning to see what the new draft system is like, large player pools and a twice-per-season commitment. First up is soccer, where we have yet to see a draft implemented. After the first few days of scouting there were many people claiming there was a bug since all they could find were C and D players. I spoke with PPM HQ about this and got the reason as to why that may be and will spend the remainder of this article getting everyone up to speed.
 

I asked for an official comment and was given the following by the PPM icon Vlady:
 

For those of you who prefer images to words I created the following graphic:

This is for qualitative purposes only and not to scale by any means. As you can see range that qualify as a C and D player has increased resulting in them being the most frequent to show up in scouting reports. The lower-C players are now D-players and the lower-B players are now C-players. The punchline here folks is simple: for the players we are after, the A+, A and B players, there will be tighter bounds and thus less variability in the stars and qualities observed within a given draft scouting report letter (excluding scouting accuracy).

I hope this puts some concerns at ease. I for one was able to find several Bs and an A so they are out there. Just get scouting everyone and don't get discouraged if all you find are Cs and Ds... afterall, most guys would be thrilled to have such!
