We could have 80s as the top level talent and it's the same process of building a team. All you did was shift it on the spectrum - but as a shift across the board the difference is moot if you know what you're doing.
Dropping farm, on it's own, would extend career paths and reduce the massive amounts of injury we get to balance talent levels.
If we are going to change something, let's make clear what our objectives are.
I'd say the draft and farm system go hand-in-hand. A pumped up draft is also pushing veterans out.
To an extent yes, but I think the farm has more of an impact as that is the progression of prospects. The faster prospect progress the faster the game has to make space for them. The more players you have ready, the more of a bottlneck you have at the ML level and that is what we are seeing.
