I increased the league reputations and deleted all players from one of my independent leagues (left the other 5 leagues full of fictional players) to see if teams signed enough players. Each team signed 4-6 players before the season started, and I had to fill them out with fictional players. However, after the season started, players started signing quickly (I think more quickly than when the leagues had lower reputations, so some improvement).
At the start of the second season of the Atlantic League (I set it as May 1), only a couple teams had full rosters (25). The other teams had between 15-20 players. Teams in other leagues had fewer players (some had none). I'll sim ahead to see if the teams in other leagues eventually sign enough players, but I'm not optimistic. The one year contract maximum seems to cause problems, even with extensions enabled. Too much turnover and teams not refilling their rosters. I also saw a few players signed to huge contracts. Two players signed $8.3 million deals in the Frontier League. An Atlantic League team signed some minor league MR to a $5.5 million contract. |

I have 1 year contracts and 1 year extension and teams refill their roster yearly.
Only problem I have is with the Atlantic league (league rep is 8) which recently stopped filling its rosters up. Not sure why but that league was fine before. As for guys signing massive contracts, I think that is not exclusive to indy leagues as Ive seen some minor league FA's signed all-star type contracts in my MLB league. Its not often but it does happen...Maybe a bug in the game? Last edited by SirMichaelJordan; 08-08-2014 at 11:49 AM. |

Good to know it can work. I'll just keep adjusting settings and see what I get. Maybe my financials are too low or too high.

Well, I saw some improvement. Atlantic League teams end up with full rosters, although they sign many free agents after the season begins. I guess those are the players who waited for a MLB deal but finally give up and settle for an independent league. Teams in other leagues are not filling up their rosters as well, though. When I get the illegal roster error message, I fill out those teams with fictional players. When I sim forward a day, those teams have added a number of real players and forced many of the new guys to the reserve roster. Why can't they do that a day earlier?
Some changes I made:
A few other questions for those who've created successful indy league setups:
Sorry for all of the questions. I've tried some tests but I'd love to just get playing (willing to edit rosters manually each year if I have to). I figure there are people smarter than me and more familiar with this type of setup who already have things that work. Thanks for any ideas. |

What are your league reputation settings?

I still haven't figured out how much the league reps relate to each other. Is it a relative number or a set value. For example, if I have two leagues and one is a 10 and the other is a 9, is the difference the same as if it was a 10 and 1? Maybe a better way to put it, is the rep number a ranking or a descriptor? Does 10 mean elite and 1 mean garbage, or is 1 simply ranked below 10?

Do the teams fill their rosters throughout the offseason or all at once at right before the season? I'm seeing teams fill their rosters on the first day of the season (sometimes after I'm able to advance despite an illegal number of players).
