This is exactly my experience although each time I start a new league these days, I ponder whether I should have other leagues.

The thing is, even when I had a NCAA feeder league, I never went there to look at anything. I never noticed who won the College World Series, never visited team pages, never followed players in their collegiate careers. When I used to have international leagues, I never followed them, either.

With this in mind, I choose to have just a fictional MLB and full minor leagues. The game does a good job of creating new players in the appropriate situations: amateur, international discovery, foreign free agent.

This is NOT to run down the idea, however. There can be much immersion in following those other leagues but I feel obliged to offer my two cents about weighing whether your past/present level of interacting with those leagues justifies the time and effort of setting them up (plus the drawbacks of slower simulations and larger / more numerous files).

YMMV, of course.
