Huge Roster Sizes in Rookie Ball

MTG11 · 01-16-2011, 09:16 PM

I have roster sizes between 70-90 in my lowest affiliate. I don't draft more than like 7-8 guys per draft. I think the computer is finishing my draft and then assigning players to my lowest affiliate. How do I control roster sizes, and/or only draft the players I draft and not the extra that the computer drafts. I want these guys to develop and that's hard when there's so many players.

u could either let the AI decide minors signings and cuts or u could manually release players after rookie ball season is over like i do....after my 2006 draft i have 24 pitchers and 7 offensive players at rookie. I was up to 70-80 like u at 1 point but now i cut players throughout my system at the end of the regular season or start of spring training.

It gets so insanely tedious to do that, lol. But it's better then letting the AI screw up minor league promotions/demotions/releases.
