Fictional League Questions

I've been playing since OOTP 17 but skipped 20 and I've been having a couple issues with custom fictional leagues in 21 that I haven't previously. Figured I'd ask the community if I was messing something up due to changes in mechanics I missed or if I'm encountering some bugs.

1) Do I need adjust league total modifiers if I'm running smaller leagues? I typically run leagues of 12-14 teams. In past versions I never messed with league totals or their modifiers and totals never seemed too out of whack even with a season length around 154 games. My first league in 21 and I'm seeing crazy projected #'s and crazy results. The lowest preseason predictions in my 14 team league(156 game season) are 750 runs and 738 runs allowed. High end is 999 and 931. 30 games in and the league is slashing 264/342/444. The unaltered league modifiers predict 236/315/382. I've never had this happen before. Any ideas?

2) My world has 8 separate ML's of 14 teams in 8 different countries each supposed to have its own separate inaugural draft. In past versions (19 specifically) this has run smoothly. In 21 the draft pools all appear to be shared (while I do form an association I don't select a shared draft and/or form the association following the inaugural draft). Did something change or is this a bug?
