Minor leagues roster rules

sdoug78 · 05-20-2025, 03:18 PM

Would it be best to adjust the minor leagues roster rules from the default standard game set up, the active roster sizes (I noticed active roster size by default is no limit at all levels), age limits and the pro service time limits?

If so what would be recommended for each minor league level please?

Mine are...

30 man rosters for AAA down to Low A. I think my Rookie is 50, but can't open game right now to check.

Pro Years/Age per level

AAA: none/none
AA: none/ 28 yrs
A+: 5 pro/ 25 yrs
Low A: 4 pro/ 23 yrs
Rookie: 3 pro/ 22 yrs

Not sure how this compares to real life, but I think it was close when I did it years ago.
