I'm doing my best to accept that the changes are just the new normal and make adjustments to the way I play, but my two cents are that the focus on 80 grade player distorts the real impact of the...

One question, assuming now we have to accept this is by design and won't change back to the way things have been in the past. In fictional leagues, seed players appear to have a range of ratings...

A few years back I started clicking can't be fired and turning off owner goals. Much respect to those who play that way, for many obvious reasons, but as a player since, I think, 08, I only really...

I've had similar results in fictional. It's particularly frustrating because it's an issue that doesn't fully reveal itself right away but makes committing to a franchise save a difficult proposition.

I'm playing in fictional leagues. In saves started since the patch, results seem a touch better than during beta and initial launch, where league wide almost no drafted players exceeded 50 overall...

Is there a plan to address the lack of player development in fictional leagues during the next patch because this patch didn't change anything in that area?

I want to echo this, as this is exactly what's happening to me. 12 years into the same type of fictional set up I've played for years and there are next to no players outside of the seed players who...

I'm concerned with the problem being framed as "not having enough 20-22 year olds" in the bigs. Development issues, especially in fictional leagues, seem far more severe that than over time. I guess...

I wouldn't be surprised to hear that. For long term saves, I've literally edited a bunch of players in commissioner mode or simply simmed into the future when service time has had a chance to...

This is something I noticed last year and persists this year. Even if your fictional start up has a shorter season from the creation wizard, the service time issues are a complete disaster that...

It's not just my players that aren't developing in my leagues, it's all the players who weren't seed players. I'm in year 12 of a save--12 team fictional league with standard player development...

I do this all the time, and it's really cool. It seems you need to manually load stadiums, otherwise all the MLB parks have the wrong dimensions, though.

I've sort of enjoyed it. Some of the diving catches have been suspenseful and totally caught me off guard. Had a game end with the opponent's CF making two game saving dives (one in the 8th and one...

One thing I've noticed as that little loopers that barely clear the infield are harder to predict, meaning you don't know for sure if the ball will slip past the fielder until it happens. Previously,...

It appears that the long-term goals are possible during year two, once you have a full offseason to work with. For year one, with the game starting in January, I could only choose the 2-3 week...

Really intrigued by the player development options. Do we know how they do/don't interact with fall and winter leagues? Can a prospect assigned to the fall league be also be assigned to the lab?

Real ballpark factors in fictional leagues

I've tried a few fictional leagues using real teams/parks. In the past, park factors were accurate to real life using this set up. So far in 24, the park factors are inaccurate/apparently random.

That's an easy one. I've played since OOTP '08. One franchise was neck and neck with my best dynasties in terms of regular season success, utterly dominant, but won only one title in 5-6 years of top...
