You’re absolutely right. I just sorted by contract status and saw everybody at 1 year and jumped the gun. Excuse me while I wipe the egg off my face. I have one other question. I could have sworn I saw a spot where you can set the minimum AB’s or IP for a player to qualify for the draft pool during setup. Am I mistaken (again)? If I’m not I may blow this up and start over. Too many players in the inaugural draft with >500 plate appearances. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yep, pretty cool for Moonlight. You should see the weaken/adjust settings pretty much first thing when you go to set up your game.

Do you have the reserve clause turned on? That may be why you are seeing one year contracts. There were very few, if any, long term deals in the reserve clause era.

Game > Game Settings > League Settings > Financials > Financial & Free Agency Settings > Enable Reserve-Clause Era Rules It will be checked if you didn't touch it, and you're playing before free agency. So uncheck it if you want free agents and keep it if you want the system with 3 years to arbitration, and 6 yrs to free agency. |

Good luck rather than good planning, I have made so many mistakes in my leagues I act like the blind squirrel finding the acorn at times.

Current season 1985. It's now a 40 team league with four levels of minors and two independents. I also utilize the Arizona Fall league and the World Baseball Classic tournament. Here is the kicker...I ran out of players in the database in 1985. The only ones left only made it to the big leagues for a cup of coffee. There aren't enough for a full draft so there is a limit on how far you can go with this. I've started a new league in 1921 and am going to TRY to keep it small, if I can resist the temptation to expand to much! LOL. |

I have to fight the urge to expand just finished 1910. Now have a total of 42 teams, 16 ML, 3 unaffiliated AAA leagues of 8, 8, & 10 teams. I don’t like a big free agent pool and tend to expand if the pool get over 200. Takes me a long time to complete a season because I tend to chase ghosts, go down rabbit holes, check out players etc, etc. I found another setup mistake today which hopefully will reduce the free agent pool. I am going to run more seasons in my test league but at the rate I make mistakes and find better ways to do things it maybe a long term “test”. I also want a few more updates to come out that may fix some of the historical issues. I also waiting for the new mods.

I'm currently doing 16 teams with reserves and have the draft set to six rounds. I would like to have the first 2 or 3 drafts after the inaugural to ten to twelve rounds then back it down to six. I want a high influx of players early to get the league rolling and then level it off. |

Do this as soon as you start your off season. Last edited by crawdad5000; 04-17-2018 at 08:57 AM. |

Good reminder about clicking on "disable free agents and fictional draft class" as well. I would say to set the draft up as soon as you start the preseason though because you want the number of players imported to match the amount of players you want for your draft and if you do it on the first day of the offseason, they may have already been imported. Whichever way you do it, you'll want to do it outside of the regular season/playoffs because you can't set it during that time anyway. Your suggestion puts it outside of the regular season/playoffs, so it may work, but if you're switching the amount of rounds, I would suggest first day of preseason. Probably six of one, half a dozen of the other, but still. Last edited by actionjackson; 04-17-2018 at 09:49 PM. |

...Set it up how you want it...2 or 3 drafts at 10-12 rounds, and then back down to 6. |

Good point. Poor, great Grover Cleveland Alexander had to have Ronald Reagan act him in the movie about him. (sorry, couldn't resist):
