Just wondered if you use the "League Development" option or do you keep the offensive/pitching balance the same over the years.

Thanks for checking out the IPA.
I like the name Loco Dillinger, too. I create a lot of my players' names.
I created my own name database to control the names in my league. In general, the game used to generate too many goofy last names. I don't know if it is still the case. Maybe it has been fixed by now.
Sorry, my ignorance, but I don't know what the "League Development" option is. I guess I try to keep it basically the same each year. I want the batting leaders to hit 40-60 homers, 40-50 doubles, 10-15 triples a year and the league batting average to be around .260. I want the strikeout leader to be 250-300 Ks year, ERA leaders 2.00-2.50 each year. I just chose 1955 as the year to base my league on and just let the game develop. I occasionally adjusted the league modifiers to keep it in sync with 1950s baseball. It went well until I converted to another version. I played OOTP9 until the 2028 season, converted to OOTP12 and all heck broke loose. I had to adjust the league modifiers drastically to keep from having way too many home runs and strikeouts. I adjusted it monthly to keep the stats in line. The 2029 season seems to be statistically OK, but run scoring is down a bit.
