I haven't played around with these types of details for awhile, these days I just set the strategies, creation modifiers, and financials to 1987 or 1988 and "rip the knob off", running the league forever on those settings. But at one time several versions ago I dabbled with some league evolution stuff.

There used to be comma-delimited files the game used to set the settings for each year, one for creation modifiers, one for financials, one for strategy choices like rotation size, etc. I don't know if that is still the case, but if it is, you could manually change the values or use Excel to change them using formulas, export to the right format, and then replace the default.

Back then, maybe version 11, it didn't do what I wanted it to do; it wouldn't check the file for seasons after the year the game came out, even if you added years to the file (I always thought it would be a great way to extrapolate the future rather than being stuck unrealistically on the last real year forever). But if you are starting in 1950 that probably isn't an issue for you.
