Because you have to select a league nation (as I understand it), I have it set to the United States. I set the foreigner percentage to 65%, seeing as I wanted players from all around the globe. But while I ended up with the proper ratio of American players, I was getting way too many from North American countries and only a handful from Asia. I got 31 Japanese players, compared to 126 from Mexico.

Japan actually has a slightly larger population, so it seems the game is biasing the player pool towards North America, because the league is set in the United States.

Is there a way to fix this? I have all the teams assigned to the proper nation, but that doesn't seem to do anything. This thread talks about setting the foreigner percentage to 0, but I tried that and I just got 100% American players. Help!
The league biases players based on the baseball level of the countries, not the population and I'm pretty sure geography is irrelevant for foreign players.

So to change the amount of players from each country, change the Baseball level.
