I am trying to create a league of a "worldly" futuristic MLB. The clubs are the same, but the major intent is to have more nationalities involved in the game. When setting up my league, I modified the default player origin, the international amateur free agents, international scouting discoveries, and international established free agents to 100% random. However, at least 95% of the players created are from the main players in the current baseball world - U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Cuba, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, etc. There are almost no Africans, very few Chinese, and maybe 1% of the game world population is European. When scouting discoveries come, they are 95% from the Caribbean/Latin America. International free agency is dominated in the same way by players from the same area.

So the question is: Is the MLB game world hard-coded for nationalities to some extent, regardless of random settings? If I go through and put the exact percentages of each nationality I want to see into the game, will it work, or will I still end up with an extremely North American-dominated population?
