FEEDER League question
When adding a feeder for a standard MLB season, does anyone know the exact number of college teams, JUCO teams, and high school teams are added to the game?
I'm at work right now so I cant just add one and see haha Thanks! |

It doesn't work that way. Adding a feeder league will generate a number of fictional college or high school teams (whichever level you picked) equal to the number of major league teams in the league whose draft it's feeding. You can add, subtract teams, rename them and select logos and uniforms during the creation process. The feeder will behave as an independent minor league for the most part. Only when players reach "graduation" age they will be released into the draft pool of the associated league.

Can't speak for standard MLB, but I have an expanded MLB (36 teams) with 5 levels of minors. (AAA, AA, A, SA, R).
When I used the option in setup to "add a complete feeder system", the game created 2 HS leagues of 32 teams each, 1 JUCO league with 12 teams, and 1 College league with 36 teams. |

I’ve played OOTP for at least 7-8 years and generally play mostly in the modern era. I’ve never used feeder leagues but am curious about adding it.
What are the pros and cons? And how do you apply feeder leagues to a modern era league? If it’s too complicated to write out then don’t bother. Just curious if it’s somewhat easy to explain. Thanks in advance. |

The better question is what are you going to use feeders before? I only ask because most people only added them so that they could scout players in multiple draft classes. With the new future draft pool feature, feeders leagues for a lot of players are no longer necessary.

The difference between feeders and the new multiple draft classes is that with feeders, your draft class has actually played games, where as with the multiple draft classes, they are still just game generated stats.
That is how Matt explained it. I can see the pros/cons to both sides, and am still undecided as to whether I will add feeders or not. |

Can we put as much faith in the 21 version of game generated stats or would actual game stats from a feeder system always trump those? The answer to this would help me decide whether to get 21 or stick to 20 as I tend to sim a lot so 3D improvements etc are not things I would notice. If the new system works as well as real feeder leagues i would simply do away with the feeders for a slimmed down game. Thanks! |
