After playing around with settings and structures and creating about 15 different leagues, I finally set up the league that I will play with on OOTP7. A 24 team, six division league (4 teams per division) with AAA, AA, and A league minors. All the minors are 24 team, four division setups. I have a 40 team "high school" feeder league and I do a 10 round draft. I also have a "college" league, but it is NOT a feeder. It is a 12 team WL league that only allows players who are 18 to 22 with finances turned OFF. What happens is players who are NOT drafted are typically signed by one of these "college" teams and then play there for four years. They are then dumped into the FA pool at the end of the season. I had to tinker around with this to insure that the college season ended at the same time that the ML players file for free agency. Took a while, but it finally happened. The college league has a one round draft with the player creations set very low so to insure that these players never make much of themselves. ANd if they do, I explain it that it was a rare player who didn't take up baseball until college. I auto simmed 15 seasons to see if the setup was what I wanted, it was... now time to go GM the Chicago Bruins to Major Baseball League history!
