it seems we need to figure where the problem lies before it can be corrected. Maybe that is beyond the scope of this thread or the participants of it. But we may spark an idea that the developers could use.
Is the problem where the program reads when the minor affiliates leave a ML team and what it can do with the players? - the program works for some years and not others, as is documented in this thread. So is there a difference in what the program does or how it was written for those different years? Or is it an issue with the way the minors are constructed and associated in different eras? i don't know. Maybe it's a mix or none of the above, but it's a puzzle it works fine for at least 1922-23 Pittsburgh Wichita team and not the Pitts teams in the 1930's.

i don't know if it is possible to get the MiLB database to work for self created minors, but that would be a possibility as a work around. It wouldn't take a lot of effort for players to create their own associations or find the ones that work historically. (Or the game could create the minor leagues at the appropriate times, as they are now entered, and players associate them???)i know the actual players per team would not be historically correct, but at least (if the MiLB database were used) they would be in the game. After all, having a draft in 1920 isn't historically correct either. And our trading certain players probably doesn't follow history either. What i am seeking is the actual players being introduced to the game in correct years.
i don't have the answers of how to do any of this, if it's even possible, or if the developers want it. Just throwing out some ideas to resolve the minors issues and make the game work on that level. At least work from the way i play the game. Others, i am certain, have their own ways to play and wants to be resolved.
