Yet more multinational questions

RMc · 06-12-2008, 06:37 PM

(1) Let's say I create an expanded version of MLB, with teams in the US, Canada, Japan and Mexico, starting in 2001. The teams are all set at "no foreigners." What happens when the real major leaguers are imported in 2002? Can the US teams only draft Americans, the Japanese teams only Japanese players, etc?

(2) I'm already planning a fictional league with 32 teams in 32 countries, again with no foreigners. How does the amateur draft work? Will the game automatically create players from all 32 countries, with each nation's team only able to draft their nation's players?

From what Markus has posted, the AI understands the limitations and acts accordingly. So I would expect a Japanese team to NEVER draft a non-Japanese player under your rules. Your league ideas seem feasable, but I would make sure there is a large enough pool of players so no team will ever have to draft from a pool that has no players of the right nationality, or I can see the game crashing.

Hm. Any comment, Markus?

Right, it works that way, except the crash of course
