Let me quote from that text file above, the first paragraph which was written by some sage here who unfortunately must remain anonymous:

Quote:
There are a number of threads in the OOTP forums complaining about the ability of the game to manage the talent coming into leagues through feeder leagues. In a nutshell, the game seems to generate highly talented players as a more-or-less fixed percentage of all players generated. The more draft rounds and feeder teams that you have, the more players will be generated, and eventually the league will go through 'talent inflation'. That is, if you have a lot of draft rounds and a lot of feeder teams, you will sooner or later have a highly-talented league with a lot of free agents.
Frankly, you are generating 50% more players with your feeder leagues than you should if your "MLB set up" is 30 teams, IMO.

EDIT: A quick fix for that, if I am right and you don't want to delete any feeder teams, is to extend the age min/max range. Make it 18-22 (five years) or even 17-22 or 18-23 (six years); that will cut down on the number of annual "graduates," I think.
