Yes, and version 13 neither has the ability for people to differentiate foreigner percentages between the initial pool and the amateur draft, nor does it allow you to specify exactly which countries you can choose to inhabit each. You *can* go in and edit all countries you don't want down to having a baseball talent level of 0 but as noted before that's not a good time for me or, I would hazard to guess, for anybody else either.

Additionally, my issue with rising foreign percentages never had anything to do with the amateur draft because, as noted, I tend to keep the foreign % down to 0 and there are no non-USA players in there (which, as noted, is slightly unrealistic as you also never get the occasional Canadian or Puerto Rican in there). However, it seems like you completely missed the point that foreigner percentage climbs *anyway* if you have full scouting turned on because scouts will go out on their own and tell teams about foreign talent, who in turn sign said foreign talent.

No bones about it: being able to set all this is very nice, and for some of us the #1 or #2 feature that excites us about the game (I think I might be a little more excited about the new aging model).
