Ideal Organization Size 52?

GForce22 · 04-22-2003, 04:14 PM

Curious...

I had created my new fictional league and it generated players for the draft based on my 16 team setup. I check the players_general file and there are 832 guys there. That's 52 a franchise...25 per big league squad and 9 per minor league (one per position).

Is this what's considered the perfect size. To me it limits you, especially one pitcher per level. Of course, the fictional league will just have 5 minor leaguers per team (a league this small couldn't do a minor league even if it wanted to in real life, like the independent leagues).

As an aside, I wish there was an option for no minors, or just having one or 2 levels. Anything that can make the experience customizable.

You don't have to have full teams in the minors. If your A team doesn't have a 1B, then an average ghost player will be put into the position.

I knew you didn't need to, Spleen, I was just curious that this was the default way the game did it and if there was a reason for it.
