Obviously to get every one of these leagues perfect in every year would be an impossible task. This is why the feature is only available within the context of an MLB league and you can't select individual minor leagues to simulate on their own, apart from MLB.
Which, again, is fine, but that needs to be made very clear to potential users so that they don't get a false impression of what this feature currently entails.

You've already seen posts in this very thread of people expecting and asking for more of this feature

No, probably not. But do not underestimate the hardcore users here who want accuracy and detail in all things OOTP—they are loud and determined.

Just be up front with them about things, don't oversell the feature, that's all I'm saying.


(Also, the Southern Association was, post-war, a majority-affiliated league. It should have been included by the 'majority-affiliated' standard. Why wasn't the 1946-61 Southern Association included when other, sometimes smaller and/or short-lived leagues, were?)
