In '24 and '25, I would do the tedious task of setting all countries to non-existent except USA and Canada. Early days of baseball. 10% players from random nations. I setup an international tourney or 2 and usually I get random countries involved with countries with more active players tend to get selected more.
Sadly, ootp 26 will select the USA and Canada and the rest will be selected alphabetically. Regardless of whether they have any players or not. It doesn't matter if you check "only include nations with active players" or not.
I didn't want to sound like a whiner. Just wanted to make this know. I doubt many people do this type of league but would love to hear if anyone does.
Besides I still have ootp 25 and dont mind using both.
