I am trying to set up a new fictional league, 24 teams, 4 levels of minors, consisting initially of players 17-22 years old, all from Minnesota. To do this, I would set up the league then delete the 23 and older players from the inaugural draft pool. But the current setup of 24 teams and minors inaugural draft pool was too small (and not very deep in talent) after deleting the older players. So I experimented with 96 team, 112 team and 128 team leagues inaugural draft pools, deleting the 23 and older players, to come up with a decent sized and talented pool of 22 and younger players.

So I took the players.dat file from the 24 team league setup and replaced it with the players.dat file from the 112 team league, then deleted all the 23 and older players. But something changed in the overall/potential ratings for the individual players (I'm using 100% accurate scouting with the OSA scout to minimize scouting variances). The 112 league pool had 67 players with potential of 70-80 (20-80 scale) but putting that same database of players into the 24 team league setup results in just 23 players with potential of 70-80. Similar thing for players with potential 60-69: decreased from 97 to 11.

I checked the ratings editor for players in both setups and nothing changed. Their individual ratings (e.g., contact, stuff, etc.) didn't change but their overall and potential ratings did change, pretty much all being much lower after being dropped into the 24 team league setup. E.g., C. Hanson, 3B, 33/69 in the 112 team league setup dropped to 20/33 in the 24 team league setup; B. Simmons, MR, 52/68 dropped to 20/25. But nothing changed for either of them in their ratings editors.

Could the ratings differences be due to the change in the league size? Would the 100% accurate scouting ratings change because of this? I checked every thing I could think of and couldn't find any dfferences in the setups of the 112 vs. 24 team leagues.

The inaugural draft with this new pool doesn't hold much interest since about 98% of the players have potential ratings of 20-22.

Any thoughts? Thanks.
