Feeder Leagues or No Feeder Leagues?
So I started tinkering with feeder leagues in a fictional setup as I thought it would be a cool feature.
I created 120 high schools and 120 colleges. I simulated through the first season and then shortlisted what I perceived to be the best hitter and best pitcher at each level.
After the draft I looked at the 4 shortlisted players. The two college players looked normal. One was 18 and the other 19. Neither got drafted but looked to be stars down the line. In high school, however, the two guys I shortlisted were 28 and 30. (???)
I went to the draft and looked at the top players drafted. The #2 pick hit like .278 in college and was very mediocre rated. The #3 pick had a 5.14 ERA in college and the #5 pick hit .179 on the season. The only commonality was the hitters were highly rated defensively but had almost no offense. The pitcher was very much a spare (10/10) in most categories.
Not only did I get 28-30 year old high school players (I had it set at 17-21) but I also had the CPU teams favoring defense highly over offense and stats having almost no impact in the draft.
I'm certain some setting somewhere needs to be adjusted but shouldn't the game know by default that HS players are generally 14-18 and college 17-23?
Any help with those settings would be greatly appreciated!
