Turning off development might help you, and changing the amount of random development might help, too. The game still has the two issues I noted, though. |
Here's a link to a detailed description of DMB:

OOTP takes much of the same statistical research into account. Maybe you're right about DMB using "less than pure randomization." Maybe I'll inquire about that on the DMB boards.
