It is a global setting and would affect all leagues.
Sorry to be so long in replying.
If you should try to use the Defensive Influence settings, be sure to back-up your league first and then run some tests to see if you like the results.
I began using it several versions ago. I think it was Matter2003 who ran tests using it and came to the conclusion that it would indeed make defense more influential in the game. He gave some settings to use, but I have never been able to find them on the forums. At first I used the defensive influence settings to just lower the overall league fielding percentage from the default settings, which always seem to be based on Modern Day Baseball. I lowered the league average from .984 to .975. I wanted to play 1950's-style baseball. It worked well. I also increased the double plays which were too low with the default settings. I think this was OOTPB 2006 or 2007. Since then Markus has made it possible to change the fielding percentages and double plays with the League Modifiers. I still use the Defensive Influence in the config file to make defense more important in the game.
