And, it becomes very hard to use minor league stats to tell who is doing well: because of the very low BAs I'm getting the spread of BAs of minor league players is lower than if the average BA was higher.
Plus it is hard to see what pitchers are doing well in the minors because their stats are all way off the high end: 15+ K's per 9 innings
Plus, you have realism to consider. 
I'd love to just let the game do its thing...but this problem seems both harmful to game play (as I play it) and it must be a bug. |
Minor league stats can be used in fictional leagues, but you need to do a lot of work on tuning league totals. Once you do, it's a lot of fun--to me at least. Garlon and many historical simmers seem to have only passing interest in minors at best, though.
Unfortunately, you really can't just let the game do its thing in the environment you want to play in, and it's not a coding bug, but a series of design choices that causes the issue.
