I'm going to take some time off and sim more into the future now. I might create a new GM, I might not. This guyis young enough that he could come back 20 years if he wants to.

I kinda want to test the settings to find the right stats to get us back to where we were back in the earlier parts of the dynasty with league batting around .260-.280 and ERAs between 3.9-4.5 overall. That's ideal for me and consistent with how things had been for most of the years until talent went down and batting averages started to dip and pitchers started to get better.

So we'll probably 15-20 years into the future and then what I'd like to do, is spend a decade or so with a team, so I can really start to get a group of favorites again, get a lay of the league and so forth. I did that with Victoria and it's fun to go back and see the notables from that era. Eventually I'm going to slow down to start simming fewer seasons and keep the league established eventually. You'll see less franchise movement after the 50s or so, with the occasional change and I haven't decided if we'll expand again or not once we reach the 60s and 70s, but we probably will one more time at some point later no matter what.
