Not sure what you mean by this. If you're saying to just change the settings to make more the June 6 draftees come from foreign countries, my assumption is that all that will do is reduce the overall talent level.

IOW, the current setup creates X number of players with a ML-level projected grade of 50, and Y number of players with that grade coming in as international amateurs. X+Y=Z, which is the total number of prospects entering the system.

If you just delete the international amateur FA system, you get rid of Y number of prospects. Changing the flags on them doesn't mean you haven't reduced the talent pool.


Does adding more rounds generate more actual prospects, or just more players?

i.e. the real life MLB could make the draft 200 rounds, but it doesn't mean that the high schools and colleges in America will be producing more good players.
OOTP maintains balance - the game keeps a good level of talent in your league. If you have a lot of very good players in your league, your draft pools will be weaker because the league is becoming top heavy with talent. Same thing the other way.

Changing the amount of players, or where they come from will not reduce the overall talent of your league.
