Is it 24? My current universe is gigantic (1203 teams), with the league I operate having 36 teams, and I feel the more teams you have, the less scarcity of talent you have, and it's a lot easier for you to just scoop it all up at the AI's expense. Once this gigantic universe inevitably crashes, my next idea of a universe was doing a stats only Canadian league (Maple Leaf Baseball... keeping it MLB), and I was debating the number of teams I should do. 30 for keeping with modern MLB, sure, but if I'm doing all my own scouting, I feel like 24 might be more realistic to get an easier grasp on the league, as well as making it so there's a scarcity of talent that'll be harder for me to hoard.

What has been your experience?
