as far as the draft and number of players generated for X rounds, if you are using feeder leagues I don't think that matters. I could be wrong but if you have 160 feeder teams the estimate is that 6-9 players per team will go to the draft, so thats 960-1440 players which would be 32-48 rounds worth. I think even if you set the generate players for 20 rounds you would still have enough players for 32-48 rounds, the "generate players" just makes sure if there were not enough from the feeder teams that the computer would generate new random players to fill the gap.

The problem with too many feeder teams is your free agent list can expand quickly, just looking at the 6 players per feeder team possibility, if you only need 20 rounds of players that means 360 players will not be drafted and since most of yours will be coming from the college level that means they will become free agents (if they were from high school some might go to college...).

sorry, posted this before updating the thread to see they were already answered.
