However, something like this WOULD be possible, but would take some machinations.

Here's how I'd try it:

First I'd create my league with all the teams I wanted set in all the countries I wanted. I would set the PCMs (player creation modifiers) for this league to be REALLY low, like .100 for everything. That way all the players created for this league would suck.

THEN, for every country I had in my league, I would create a separate small league based in each of those countries (not a minor league in the same league as the original league, but separate international level leagues). I would set the PCMs for each of these leagues to be how I wanted the countries to be ranked. And make sure to set foreigner creation percentage to zero.

Make sure for each of the small leagues that you allow FAs to leave the league. I'd also set free agency to be allowed after only one season. And for the Big League, make sure you allow free agents to be signed from other leagues.

Not sure it would work, but that's how I'd try it.
Hey thanks for the suggestion though. Question though, what is the purpose of creating .100 PCM in the original league? I understand the players not sucking so I won't have a bunch of superstars from Bangladesh created off the hop, for example, but still, where will my initial batch of players from my main league come from?

Also, what would happen if I set the league nation to a random country that won't have a team in the league, and then set the foreigner percentage to 100% .... Will that automatically create moer players in the baseball rich nations, or will it then just look at the teams in the league and create based on that? (even if I selected foreigner percentage based on league nationality instead of team nation).

Anyway, let me know.

Also, it has been so long since I've done a league without a draft, but if I don't hold an amateur draft in a league, what happens? How do new players end up in the universe and end up on teams?

Let me know, thanks.
