I know this is maybe not so much a list of suggestions for the dev team as it is a service for users, but I just wanted to comment on number 5 as if it was a suggestion.

We've considered the possibility of adding a 2nd minor league for the KBO (and the *** as well), given that this does exist in real life.

However, there's a likely problem here, which is that many KBO teams keep somewhere around 90-100 players in their organization at once. Given that a fair number of those are in military service or injured and unavailable at the game's start, that means the functional number of players available to the teams is more like 75-90.

With a 28 man roster for the primary team, then however many injuries may occur through the course of the season, it's very likely that if we added a second minor league, that teams would sometimes run out of players and not have enough to play a game on their lowest level minor league team, giving the user errors when they try to progress.

Of course there's the option of enabling ghost players, but that's not really realistic to do by default. You could also say that teams will sign more players to fill out the rosters (which is probably true) but then you end up with somewhat unrealistic roster sizes for the KBO orgs.

So for me, this is a tricky situation where I'm not entirely sure adding a 3rd team by default is the best solution. I'd be interested in hearing what others think about this though.
