Some players were generating with like 20 years of service time. This makes them eligible for free agency almost immediately depending on where your draft is relative to Free Agency. Beyond just being annoying, the AI couldn't handle it and was allowing top prospects to walk right off the bat.
My thought when I saw this was that it was related to the players real life data in the minor league database and the year the game was set. So a player who played in the 1920s would show up with decades of service time when my league was set in the 70s. Figured it should not be an issue if I just had players debut the year they should have, or much earlier (like set game year to 1850 for my league) but never tested it since I was only interested in random debut and something new had caught my attention and time.
Been a bit, and this is from memory. Worked on this with intention of starting an Online League with Real Minor League players and random debut drafts and forgot about it till your post so I am sure I am missing an important bit somewhere
