aging / devel ratings
I've been screwing around w/ the aging / development ratings to try to find a good balance. I believe the file is set w/ .650 for again and .850 for development. The prob seems to be that the league is dominated by young players, and older guys retire too early.
I changed the factors to .500 for aging and .600 for devel and I ran about 15 years. I like what the aging impact did, but for development....I think I'm just slowing down the whole league.
I think that the prob might be that young players are simply too good to begin with (current ratings, not potential). For example, in 1 sim, some guy named Evan Longoria at TB won an MVP in 2007. In another, Joey Votto (CIN, I think) won one right away.
Looks to me from limited testing that reducing aging to .500 or .600 might be a good idea, but maybe devel needes to stay around .750 or so, and some prospects need a bump down in current ratings.
What are you all experiencing?
