I meant I've been playing the game for 15 years, not that the league has existed for 15 years. (Although it has.) Anyway, I have 10 and 5 rights turned off.

Oddly, I can get shop a player to work...

Shop a Player Not Working

In my fictional league, shop a player used to work but now it doesn't. It has nothing to do with finances. All but a few teams are in the black, and even when you shop prospects on minor league...

Historical Fictional Finances

Something strange is going on when I try to create a new fictional league and set it in the past. When I import past finances, I get really weird numbers. For example, a league that starts in 1901, I...

Change Date of Winter Meetings?

Is it possible to change the date of the winter meetings? I know you can change the date of the Rule 5 draft. But I fear the winter meetings are fixed. Thanks to anyone who knows.

Look elsewhere.

As the poster above pointed out, he will be 24, which is old for a prospect, and his makeup doesn't inspire confidence.

Historical Setup (including minors), Fictional Players

Is there any way to set up a league with a real MLB structure, say, 1977 or whenever, including actual, affiliated minor leagues, but with completely fictional players?

Let me add to the chorus of those hoping that this gets fixed. It is one reason I play with finances off. It is not realistic and way too easy for the human player to take advantage of.

Market Size for each team changes over the course of a long sim. I know this is a "feature not a bug" but many people, myself included, have longed for a way to lock market sizes.

I would go with Montoya or Mantia.

Montoya is a little further along than the high school pitchers, so he has less of a chance to flame out. And if Mantia did not work out at 2B, he looks like he...

Yes I think the solution is to turn ratings off and leave potential on. (I already play on a 2-8 scale.)

I'm not sure what in-game abstractions you're referring to, maybe the actual ratings, which I take as something like the player's true talent level, but in any case we've come full circle. I don't...

You may have missed it in the opening post, but I opened up the editor and checked his actual ratings, scout-free. His rating had dropped. A lot. And looked to drop more.
