Some of the top players/prospects in the MLB are from lonely ol'
Curacao. Curacao was part of the Netherlands Antilles until 2010--but the Dutch Antilles no longer exists.
The fun thing in OOTP, is that Curacao as a nation exists--but sports
ZERO players. All the players from Curacao are listed as being from "Netherlands Antilles"/being "Dutch Antillean". The Netherlands Antilles ceased existence in 2010.
And while for the ease of programming, etc. it may be best to keep players from
Bonaire,
Sint Eustatius, and
Saba as being "Dutch Antillean", it doesn't seem to make much sense to place all the Curacaoan players in the wrong country.
These players include standout players & prospects such as
Johnathan Schoop,
Kenley Jansen,
Jurickson Profar, and
Andrelton Simmons who would probably be disappointed to find out they have the wrong country listed on their OOTP profiles.
I originally posted this in the bug forum as seen below--but I think this might be something more up for general discussion? What happens as countries change/how significant is it to get current players' nationalities correct?
