Region field on team settings page

On the team settings screen - right above "Nation" and below "Minor Team ID" is a new field for "Region" on a per team basis. Can we get an explanation for how that can be used in the game now?

This was added for Feeder League teams so that, for instance, a high school would have players from within that region. Quoting Matt: "90% of HS players should come within 100 miles of the HS, and 50% of college students within 500 miles of the school, and within a defined region for a team"

I don't think it has an effect on anything else.

Get out!!!

I was hoping it could be used for exactly that! Was there a thread in which this was already discussed? I definitely missed it.

That said, just populating a city for those same feeders works as well, correct?

Does this also work for foreigners rules? As in can you have players for a specific team come only from that region (and foreigners would be counted as outside region)?

Anyone know this? If it does it might tip me to buy the game

Yes, if your foreigner rules are based on the team nationality, then it will perform a region check instead of a strict nationality check if you have that set.

This can be a real game changer IF the AI knows to do this check before signing or drafting a player not after since then they just stick them in the reserve or minor league level which I think still happens.

It happens less but yes it still happens way too often. Any word on this?
