Updating Default Universe to Real Life Universe

[Mike Lowe]

What needs to be done? Here is what I have so far:

Mexican League
The Mexican League is listed, in real life, under MLB's minor league (www.minorleaguebaseball.com). In the default setup, however, it is not affiliated. Obviously we know it is not affiliated with a particular MLB team but does this need to be changed in the game setup to tie into the minor leagues?

Venezuelan Winter League
In the game this is listed as a winter league but according to www.minorleaguebaseball.com it should be a summer league. How would the affiliations work with these leagues? Aren't these the leagues that teams send players to during the offseason for more experience?

Misc
I'm running out the door right now (softball..unaffiliated lol) but what other leagues need to be added and/or removed? It seems like the crew did a nice job setting us up with a modern universe. I have not looked into the international leagues aside from the Japanese ones (major/minor).

Ultimately, I'm trying to get everything in place so that once the rosters are released we can all plug-and-play! There are logos for all of the minor league teams etc on the forums but I am having problems finding logos for the international squads (with the exception of the [league redacted] League). Maybe we could get a seperate thread going for the logos (in the correct forum).
I'm sure there is much more I am forgetting but I wanted to get this thread started before I headed out! I'm a perfectionist and want things as close to real life as possible!

As for the Mexican League, it's a minor league in name only. The "international" designation is more accurate than the "AAA" designation that minorleaguebaseball.com uses.

As for the Venezuelan Summer League, there is also a Venezuelan Winter League. Presumably the Venezuelan (and Dominican) Summer Leagues were left out because it would be very difficult to code every 16-year-old Venezuelan (and Dominican) to land on one of those two teams.

I can't really comment on the last two, however.
