markus,
one last request/plea: im still seeing way too many foreign personnel migrating toward the majors quickly. example: i set up a fictional MLB league w/full minors and added the mexican and japanese pro leagues. i simmed one season. i checked the MLB teams at the start of year 2 and probably 75% of them had vacancies filled by foreign staff, esp. key roles like manager and GM.
in terms of realism, this is a bit hard to justify. a japanese manager taking over the helm of a MLB type would be a monumental event, not to mention it happen with a handful of teams in the same year. not that i need the AI to recognize the importance of that but the frequency with which foreign staff move to foreign leagues should be decreased
a lot.
i do appreciate the other personnel improvements made though (esp. deleting free agent staff!)
