Editing the baseball talent in each and every nation, while definitely an option, isn't really a particularly fun option to me. I guess I could just write a script now that I'm one of those IT types, but I'm also kind of lazy. I'd just prefer to click on a couple settings and make the game work how I want it to work,
As far as percentage of foreign players goes, that applies only to players created in the initial pool so far as I can tell. The draft pool is based on whatever country you're based in (so for US-based leagues, all draftees in 13 anyway will come from the US), and if you have scouting turned on, one of the things that the scouts will do is uncover talent in foreign nations depending on the overall talent level of the country, the amount of money you're spending on it, and I think how many teams are spending cash there. They will do that regardless of the initial foreigner percentage.
One 13esque "fix" for this which to me isn't really a fix at all is to restrict teams to having only a few foreign players. This isn't really a fix because what ends up happening there is that because the supply of foreigners is fixed but not the relative talent level, you get a bunch of relatively short careers from the really, really good foreign players the game finds as well as a lot of instances where a guy comes up, plays for 2 years, and then sits in the minor leagues for 10 years before someone else decides to use their Foreigner Belt on them for a year or two.
