The minors, as I previously mentioned, were completely different in size, structure, and purpose in earlier years than they are today. That forces a lot of compromises if historical authenticity is a high concern.
The best thing you can do is to try out the different methods available and see which one comes the closest to giving you the experience you're after.

Again, historical authenticity is not a 'high' concern, I'm not looking for exactness, if I were I'd be playing Diamond Mind. I'd just like a system where I can have minor leagues without having to destroy the integrity of historical simming with fake players.
'Compromising', as you keep saying with each of my posts, means either playing without a minor league system at all or trying to weed through how many fake players the game is going to generate for however long it needs to, dumbing down everyone so they'll never make it. That's quite a bit of work for a game that seems to have already added a bit more work to it's gameplay. I'd rather have the programmer look into seeing if something else can be worked on to alliviate this than jerry rig it everytime I want to start a new league.
And if it can't be done, I may have to look into a refund, which is sad because I've been a loyal customer for a long time now (4 versions). And I've turned on a lot of people to the game, helped when they needed it, looked into making things more fun, etc. I may not be a main member of this board, but I am at BBSC, so it's not like I'm some noob.
And I'm not saying the game isn't good or that it's unplayable, it's just unplayable by my standards. I hope a whole new crop of people hops aboard, and hope they aren't looking to historical sim anything because, as it is, it can't be truly done with OOTP2006.
