I have added KBO and bunch of leagues to my JPBO save (set a)

Will play for a season and let you guys know.

Two teams have rebranded in my universe to change their fortunes - both decide to become aggressive animals

Fukuoka Rings to Vipers, Sendai Woodpeckers to Hawks.

And Osaka Bulls to Stars.

Very funny - Sapporo has a two way player as their best player??? Mitsuhisa Kihara, and two time MVP too.

I have found my franchise of choice - the Osaka Stars, Previously Known as Osaka Bulls. Had 8 straight losing seasons, and just finished last in the 2021 season. No money and the lowest budget (tied for 11th). The owner wants the team to reach Japan/Nihon series in 2024...... and I am 8M over budget??? And the last time the team won the championship was 1961, 60 years ago.

And all the ballparks/domes are so pitcher friendly... Astral is the only team that has a ballpark with park factors above 1.

I think by having no minor leagues, player dev was screwed in JPBO. There was a huge advantage of selecting college players than high schoolers - since if you get high school players high in the draft, they would unfortunately suck and bust in JPBO - there is no where else to go than the main roster.
