Historical Draft Classes Missing Players

[DrSatan]

Is there possibly a setting I'm missing in order to get larger draft classes in historical sims? I feel like any player that ever had a minor league AB should be in the draft classes, but that doesn't appear to be the case. In past versions I had players like John Elway, Michael Jordan, Brien Taylor, and Matt Raleigh show up in the draft pool, but they are not in 26's historical draft classes. If I create a new 2025 MLB start and search for these players, then I can find them. Even in the 90's I'll rarely have enough players for 5 rounds, and sometimes 3.

Do I have to play with real minor leagues? I've been using custom minors with AAA, AA, A, SA, R. I only do that because it gets annoying when the minor league systems get scrambled year after year.

i think this is your issue. I believe that toggle tells the game to grab the players that are in the MiLB csv files.

Pretty sure there is a way to get minor league players without using the real minor leagues, but it takes some flipping of settings back & forth.

Here is a thread I bookmarked a while ago, but I've never actually given it a try.

I can vouch that it works, providing you follow the initial steps as set out by TF. After that it is a breeze, just a toggle and then toggle back of two settings each season.

Thanks! I will check this out.
