Minors to Majors Question

nuwildcat · 06-03-2016, 01:49 AM

I just started playing the 2017 version of the game this week and have noticed something strange. I simmed forward 10 years and then started a team. When I started evaluating the players, I noticed almost of the young players jumped from either AA or A+ to the Majors skipping AAA. I know this happens occasionally in real life but I find it odd that happened to all of the young players. I looked at other teams and this seemed to happen as well. Has anyone come across this problem and if so have you found a solution? I do play stats only (0/57/29/14) so maybe it has something to do with not using ratings. I tried fixing this by creating age limits for the minor league teams, but that did not help either. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

AA is where many, if not a majority, of players come from initially. if they falter a bit they spend some time in AAA. borderline or someone lagging in development spend time in AAA - along with mlb depth and a handful of players that will never see the bigs. simply less room there. even the stars get sent down for some seasoning quite often.

if you still want it to stop, i'd suggest trying other things... try some ratings included - i'd let teh minor leagues rolloever with new settings before taking a peak. i wouldn't put an age limit on your AAA team - that will adverseley affect mlb depth of your entire league.

hmm, do you have "base starting lineup on:" for your minor leagues set to potential ability?

rhetorical questions... maybe leads you nearby an answer.
