Australian League Odd Service Time Settings

[Situational_Lefty]

I just loaded a MLB quickstart with several international leagues included and noticed that Australia has it set that 1 day of service is considered 1 year of service time. I was wondering if this was some sort of glitch or typo, because that just seems really strange.

Lately I have really been wondering just how well all of these leagues work together in "concert". I know many over the years have said they work OK, but to me, there are a lot of inconsistencies such as these named in this thread, as well as other strange reports, where it's being reported that staff from INDY leagues cannot be pryed away from their respective teams, and I have also seen a lot of cases where it makes no sense for AAA caliber players with an obvious shot of getting a little MLB time (perhaps) and still choosing to play in the independent leagues. All you then have to do is purchase the player, (it will cost $250) and they are automatically signed to a minor league deal. It just doesn't feel right, and I can hardly believe that's how it happens IRL.

This seems to be another example where you likely had many different people, with many different ideas of how things should be by default, working on different leagues. There just seems to be a lot of disorganization when it comes to many of the extra leagues included with the game. (with the exception of MLB, MiLB, ***, KBO,CPBL)
Those leagues seem to be in the best shape they can (until new posting rules etc are implemented) be for the time being. The other leagues just seem to have a lot of disorganization when it comes to budgeting, some rules, and how they interact with MLB. I would actually argue that it's the Independent leagues which seem to have the most issues in how they interact with MLB...the others just seem to have some inconsistencies.

As to the 1 year service time in the ABL, looks like that's a bug. We'll fix that up.

Thanks for the response. What do you think should be the correct amount of days? That way I can go ahead and fix it in my current game.
