Please give us the option in 20 to control the number of, or to exclude entirely, foreign personnel in our leagues.

Nothing puts a damper on immersion for me quicker than trying to set up a realistic contemporary baseball universe which includes MLB, ***, CPBL and the KBO only to see within a couple of years of simming a Japanese GM hired by the Yankees, a Korean manager take the reigns of the Cubs, and Terry Francona bidding "sayonara" to his family & friends in the States to go manage the Orix Buffaloes.

The results have been even more stultifying whenever I've tried to incorporate fictional foreign leagues into historical MLB sims. I mean, can anyone really imagine Billy Martin managing in Taiwan, or the St. Louis Browns hiring a Japanese trainer at the height of WW2?

Pleeeeease give us this option.

Thank you.
