this doesn't affect mil, because you don't create players in the mil, typically.
you either create players for draft or feeders or just X are created each year. ( i guess the latter could be mil created, as far as the pcm are concerned and which ones apply)
those all have to be 1.000 origins, or you get substandard prospects. nothing needs to be fixed. you just have the wrong perception of how they work.
if you make an independent league from the draft or feeders (genral sense), then you can use <1.000 PCMs, if you want that league to be inferior to your mlb league and it's associated mil/feeders etc etc are exclusive from that independent league.
There's some bad info above about the sabermetric pcm though, this quote from manual should clear it up:
"When used for minor leagues, Sabermetric PCMs affect only the quality of players generated when the league is first created. They do not affect the quality of new players created in subsequent years - that aspect is controlled solely by the PCM's used by the relevant major league."
reference material guys... read the manual for info, then ask questions. search the forums... this info is repeated all the time or readily available take pride in avoiding a requirement for someone to hold your hand. although with forums posts you have constant human error everywhere, too. (mine included) there are long-standing beliefs in the forums that are flat-out irrational and illogical  |
I'm going to make a caveat before I get to my response. I have ADHD inattentive, so reading and comprehending all that you have said is like 50/50. My response might not make sense.
So, I set my feeder league PCMs to 1 and filled the teams with fictional players. The talent pool does look acceptable, but now I have 15 year olds that are 100% developed and ready to dominate my major league.
As for the not looking for myself, I searched through google, reddit and on this forum for an answer before making this post. I did not find anything that answered it, so here we are. It did not occur to me to check the manual. I have used it before, but I just didn't think about it. I'll check it now to see if I can find an answer and post my findings if there are any for posterity (future searchers for the answer to this question).
