I created a fictional Canadian Baseball league, and I set up the draft to generate Canadian high school and University players. However the schools these players come from is quite limited i find. I have 90% of my university prospects from British Columbia.

I found the "schools" document in the database folder, went in and saw that yes Canadian schools are indeed very limited... esp. university.

I tried then to add some schools to the list for my game. Universities of Alberta, Calgary, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, ect and some Canadian high schools as well, such as one from my home town... where I graduated from. Figured it would be cool to someday see a draft prospect come from my school.

What I did was copied the university of British Columbia, pasted it on the bottom of the list, and just edited what needed to be edited. This is how it looked.

19939,1,Alberta,Edmonton,AB,36,53.3147,-113.361,1,5,NAIA,Independent,Golden Bears,eol

However in game when I go the edit screen for my draft prospects, I can edit things like high school and commit school. If I put in 19939 for Alberta, the game doesn't recognize it, or any other of the schools I added.

Is there anyway to fix this, or can new schools not be added using this method?
