International Draft?

cmaug · 03-11-2016, 09:53 AM

Looking for suggestions and ideas to best model a more international draft with OOTP, while continuing to have some nationalities entering as established free agents. Partly due to that being the direction that MLB seems headed, but also because the July free agency is not my favorite part of the game.

Default settings are: US 93.03%, PR 3.48% and CAN 2.49%

My thoughts are to add Venezuela, Dominican Republic, Panama, Nicaragua and Colombia to the draft. How would you suggest altering the percentages?

Have Cuba, Mexico, Japan and S.Korea entering as established free agents since they have the most (debatable) established professional leagues - sorry Euros! How many per year? [5, 10, 20, 40]

Have everyone else enter the International complex through discoveries. How many per year? [6, 12, 24, 48]
