Maximum players in the game

[Kobeck]

Just some numbers about baseball participation in the US alone

2,000,000 little leaguers
490,000 high schoolers with about 1600 girls FWIW
48,000 college players including Junior colleges
6,000 MiLB players
750 MLB

Granted zero people want to simulate little league BB but can the game handle the 550,000 high school up in the USA?

Is it just a matter of computer hardware and patience?



If the answer is the game could handle the above could the rest of the world be added on? My guess is just a WAG at another 550,000 worldwide



We know the game easily handles the professionals - about 10,000 players around the world. Can it handle the boatload of amateurs just below the pros?



secondary question would be how many high school teams are necessary to feed seniors into MiLB/MLB & college? college seniors into MiLB/MLB ?

I wouldn't be confident that it's zero.

It's probably more than 1

Personally, I feel that the system that is in place now is fine. Who wants to go and created umpteen thousand more uniforms for an organization that is barely looked at?

I kinda put this on the back burner and I dont think I asked the question I meant to ask.


IF the game can handle all those amateurs (550k US & double that world wide ) I think that would make the game universe way over talented. Be like the steroid era on steroids.


I think the proper question is how many college /HS teams should there be to maintain 750 MLB players?





That is the question I meant to ask

This thread explains how to set up feeder leagues. I don't think the feature has changed since this guide was written.

might need to install sql server

i don't know about computational power needed at all.. .but millions of players isn't a problem, otherwise. you could guesstimate - compare season sim of just mlb vs Every single thing this game offers including feeders and such. that's going form 5-10k to ?? players? i know it's a significantly slower sim. (compare days not years, or whatever, not meant to be serious suggestion anyway).

if it's getting upto ~50k i'd guess a couple million would be okay, but slow for many computers and maybe too much for some older ones. (more aobut games played per day, but correlated to # of players, too. the idle ones aren't part of it though.)

Thanks for the link. That was the information I was looking for,


each pro team needs 6-9 players per year as replacement thus the number of rounds in the draft
