Is there possibly a setting I'm missing in order to get larger draft classes in historical sims? I feel like any player that ever had a minor league AB should be in the draft classes, but that doesn't appear to be the case. In past versions I had players like John Elway, Michael Jordan, Brien Taylor, and Matt Raleigh show up in the draft pool, but they are not in 26's historical draft classes. If I create a new 2025 MLB start and search for these players, then I can find them. Even in the 90's I'll rarely have enough players for 5 rounds, and sometimes 3.

Do I have to play with real minor leagues? I've been using custom minors with AAA, AA, A, SA, R. I only do that because it gets annoying when the minor league systems get scrambled year after year.
