Let's discuss playing stats only!
To make OOTP more challenging and to better recreate the situation faced by a real GM, I play stats only with fictional players. That is to say that I turn off player ratings and potential ratings, set the AI evaluation criteria to 0/67/22/11 and then GM purely by statistical results and scouting reports - which is what real GM's have to do, right?
Deciding who to promote is a problem - you have to go by stats and scouting and the minor league report - and so is deciding who to draft (you need a good scout!). Lineups and depth charts aren't easy and pitching assignments are sometimes a crapshoot. But then I wanted a harder game with more realism, and that's just what playing stats only gives me.
I know that some of you out there play stats only because over the years I converted some of you over and I'm sure that some of you no doubt found the path to stats only on your own. So...
How do you play?
How much fun are you having? (I'm having a ton!)
What settings do you use?
What problems do you have?
What should we suggest to Markus that would make make stats-only play better in OOTP 12?
