I couldn't help but notice, when customizing minor league teams for two new MLB expansion teams for my 2017 season, that so much of the Minor League info is not up to date. For example, in the AA Eastern League, it is still structured as the Northern Division and Southern Division, when in 2010 the two divisions were renamed and restructured to the Eastern Division and Western Division. This structure has been used ever since. Also, the A+ Northwest League is divided into the East Division and West Division, when in real life, it is currently divided into the North Division and South Division, with teams assigned to a division based on their location in the region. So, for example the Vancouver Canadians would be in the North Division, instead of the West Division as it is in the game, and etc.

I also found that some of the stadiums for several minor league teams are inaccurate. For example, the A+ Lynchburg Hillcats are set up as playing in Ed Smith Stadium. Ed Smith Stadium is really in Sarasota, FL and the Lynchburg Hillcats currently play in Calvin Falwell Field in Lynchburg. The A+ Carolina Mudcats are also set up as playing in Grainger Stadium. Grainger Stadium is located in Kinston, NC and the Mudcats currently play in Five County Stadium in Zebulon, NC. There hasn't been a Major League affiliate in Kinston since 2011, before the team moved to Zebulon and became the Carolina Mudcats. And the West Virginia Black Bears are still set up as playing in Russell Diethrick Park. Russell Diethrick Park is located in Jamestown, NY. The Black Bears currently play in Monogalia County Ballpark in Granville, WV. Understandable considering the Jamestown Jammers moved and became the Black Bears in 2015.

There are probably other inaccuracies, but I simply don't have the time to check, that should be OOTP Development's job to keep the info up to date. Of course, I fix the errors as I play along as some of the stadiums mentioned are hidden in the database, but it would be convenient if the info was up to date so I wouldn't have to worry about inaccurate info, and the game could have even more of real feel. Just a suggestion.
