increasing females

[mparks1973]

is there any way to increase the amount, either % or whatever, of women that enter the leagues?

Nope. You can only set it to have females (which I'm assuming you know). There's no way to change how many.

I believe you can set it for no females, all females, or a gradual increase of females starting in a certain year.

[HoustonGM]

True. You can set it to none or all, or set a year at which females start entering the league. But you can't control that rate.

Any idea what the default is?

I think it's none....Just start a new game and open up the League Editor and you can view it/change it.

Default is the year 2020 Women Enter... I hate that its default! Not to be misogynistic but I just can imagine it

[HoustonGM]

So change it. I don't think it really matters what the default is.

Sure you can. Just set it to all females for a certain number of years (say, fifteen) then change it to a neutral setting.

I call it "affirmative Action"

Well, okay, but I'm just saying, tjhere's no way to say "I want 15% of the draftees to be women every year" or anything. There's no way to set what percentage of players will be female, except for 0 or 100.

[Imgran]

Know something funny? If you use the "all female draftee" setting, and then create an expansion team, all the expansion players will be female.

BTW -- if they're really going to put females in the league there needs to be an extra DL category for them: Maternity. It will happen eventually if women ever do get into the league.

I dunno man...Many of those females are 6'2 200 lbs....I certainly wouldnt be mating with anything like that.

Right now I'm trying a league in 1901 with all fictional females along with the original team names, stadiums and ratings. Crazy as can be seeing the boxscores with all rookies. 10.00 e.r.a.'s is common and .400+ is way up but I figure after the first 2 years are out of the way I might see some better leveling out of the pitching/batting. At least with all rookies no teams should go into debt in the first 2 or 3 years. Thanks for everyones input on this thread by the way.
