Not to split hairs, but this is just a variation on my theme. The game doesn't do this automatically. You have to intervene manually (i.e. adjust budgets) to get the market sizes that you think are realistic. There are just different ways to do that depending upon how you create your league. Not everyone does an inaugural draft, for example.

With respect to the OP: if the game were to create market sizes on the basis of the population data, then the game would have to create payrolls differently, which would lead to a very different (and somewhat random) way of setting initial salaries. Many OOTPers would probably object to the results, especially the random part. I think.
