Not to mention it'd be a disaster to code.

But that said, you could do that now if you wanted to, by simply raising the age limit in a league to prevent players under 22 or 23 from being in the majors. Not realistic, but...it'd have a similar effect.
Well, I'm not much of a programmer at all, so I'll take your word for it.

As for it being "realistic" doesn't really matter, since this is a game all about "playing it your way."

And in fact, didn't the commissioner of the MLB consider that very rule back in the 90s at one point? I am thinking of around '94 or '95. I think it also came up again in the early part of this decade as well.

Besides, if one major sport does it, why can't another?

And another besides: I don't want my high school players just sitting around, decaying because they can't get into a league until they reach 22. And to manually place them in college teams would take too long, and would probably upset the balance of the college organization, anyway if I did it incorrectly.

I dunno, probably shouldn't start that debate here. Not the place for it. So I stand by the whole HS feeding into college thing.
