How to adjust a Nationality Imbalance?

JPL86 · 12-06-2023, 09:32 AM

I started a custom league and have noticed that there are very few Canadian Players. I have the region of my league set as "US and Canada".
However only about 10% of the players are Canadian, and over half are from USA.

I have 5 times more Americans than Canadians.

Is there any way to adjust this?

If it's left on the defaults, the team locations will weight heavily towards the league's primary nation (the US in this case.) To avoid that, when you're setting up the league, on the second Edit League Structure popup you can change the nationality mix at the top left (it says "Starting Draft Nationalities" but will apply even if you're not starting the game with an initial draft of all players.) Remember to also change the rookie settings as well, or the players that get generated for the draft each year won't get the same mix.
