80-round draft?

witherscraig · 04-29-2016, 03:36 PM

Am I missing something? In previous versions, wasn't the default draft size 30 rounds? I'm playing a fictional league with a standard MLB setup, plus feeder HS and College leagues. The default draft size is 80 rounds and enough players generated for 81 rounds. Is this correct? Does anybody have a recommendation for whether I should keep it that big or change it to a lower number? What number?

Thanks.

i adjust the rounds each year based the needs of my minor leagues system. Usually between 10-15 rounds, but all i have now are AAA and AA, so that's more than enough for me.

With Feeders it is 80.

Thanks. Why are there so many rounds with feeders? 80 just seems ridiculously excessive.

Because the players already exist in the feeder leagues, the intent is to have as many of them drafted as possible.
