First half short season leagues halfway between advanced rookie and SSA

and i'm the opposite, trying to keep the affiliates happy, cutting my whole budget, when they don't succeed...getting dumped to PCL because my AAA had 4 years of bad results...

have you considered moving your draft earlier

In m yonline league we moved the Draft to the end of ST. I like it in solo because all of my roster moves happen within a week. ST demotions and minor league moves all at once.

It would be better as a separate league type, I think.

I also agree that instructional league would be an excellent addition.

Yeah, that's kinda what I want to set up. EXT is for the prospects who aren't ready for fullseason ball, but you want them to play similiar competition.

Also what you end up getting is jumping a player to fullseason A ball, him hitting .150/.200/.275, and demoting him to shortseason, ending up with an angry player by his morale, which I assume hurts his performance.

Ok so I started up a new dynasty to mess around with this league idea, and I generated myself a 54 game schedule from April 6th to June 8th with 2 rounds of playoffs.

"Four Corners League" with the Robinson/Clemente Divisions, 16/14 split.

Question now: Should I fill up all these teams with fictional players? How will the AI handle that? Will they move their shortseason prospects over to the new league? Opinions/thoughts VERY welcome!
