How are Single A teams not in the game?

1) It's no oversight, it's because the room was needed elsewhere. MLBK may have been a great game and looked great and had more roster space on PS3/XBox360, but it still can't compare with PS4. Anyway comparing the two is like comparing apples & pencils, so I've heard.

2) It makes perfect sense that just because you draft a guy, it's a given he will sign.
In 1981 the Expos drafted Mark McGwire but couldn't sign him.
In 1982 the Giants drafted Barry Bonds but couldn't sign him.
Also in '82 the Braves drafted Randy Johnson but couldn't sign him.
More recently the Cubs AND the Indians drafted Tim Lincecum but couldn't sign him.
In 1997 the Dodgers drafted Chase Utley but couldn't sign him.
This list goes on & on. And on & on. And will continue to grow each year.


EDIT misunderstood the second part of the OP.

Okay that's all fine and dandy if they DON'T sign, but if they do they should immediately be available to place in AA/AAA at the very least.

I want Single A teams too, but it's not that big of a deal. And the rookies being available next year is no issue, because of the roster limits.

But the roster limits are easy to get around. Just offer use a chance to release players before we exit the screen.

If it were as simple as you think I'm sure they would've done it by now.

It's interesting the different things we all think are important or not important. For me, I don't really see the point of A or AA for that matter since they're filled with CAPs.

How do you guys even deal with CAPs? Just ruins the immersion for me.

Again a game series from last gen had it yearly. I just feel it's them being lazy or deliberately doing it. At least give us the option before starting the mode when we want the draftees added.

I would love it if season mode had full Triple A instead of just 40 man rosters. I'd play QC in those AAA games.
But I can't even recall ever playing a Double A game in franchise.
Double A for me is better in RTTS. That's the only reason I'd like playable Single A games.
But then, I don't play a whole lot of RTTS anyways. I'm more into season mode.
