Service Time/Age Minor league restrictions

[blasek0]

It would be nice if the minor leagues had the ability to be age and/or service time limited, like they are in real life (although preferably in a customizable manner).

For example, I'd really like the ability to add a AAA "Veteran's League", complete with parent organizations like any other minor league team, for players who are 26 (or some other number that I set) and over, so I can split the career AAAA types off into their own minor league team, where the rest of the league is also full of these types of players, while still having a 2nd AAA level for prospect development. Or, I could restrict rookie and short season leagues to only allow players who are under 20, etc.

This would be cool, but I believe Markus has said in the past that it's difficult to implement.

Can't you set minimum/maximum age for each league in league setup?

You can set age min/max for parent leagues, but you can't set it specifically for a minor league, and have it only apply to that specific minor league. You can also set player creation ages for the minors, so they'll only generate players (when used with "Fill League with Fictional Players", for example) in the set age range. You can't say "Only players between 19 and 22 can play in this AA league".

That's a legitimate concern, and if this isn't easily done because of technical issues like that, I'm 100% OK with that.
