AI Trading Frequency: Props here to OOTP user rjl518. I'm using the same settings he's employing for his 2016 Mets Replay. April: Very Low, May: Low, June: Average, July 1-15: High, July 16-31 (Trade Deadline): Very High, August: Low, September: Low
Stats & AI-League Totals: I selected the year 2015 from the drop-down menu and then clicked on "automatically calculate modifiers".
Player Rating Scales: I use 20-80, no stars. Overall rating based on AI evaluation, not pure ratings.
Injury Frequency: Again, props to OOTP user rjl518. Injury Frequency for April & May: Low, June & July: Normal, August & September: High.
Player Development Settings: Batter Aging Speed=.250, Batter Development Speed=1.000, Pitcher Aging Speed=.375, Pitcher Development Speed=.900, Talent Change Randomness=67
AI Trade Settings: Very Hard/Heavily Favor Prospects
Player Evaluation AI Settings: Ratings Weight=40%, Current Year Stats Weight=40%, Previous Year Stats Weight=10%, 2 Years Ago Stats Weight=10%. I also clicked on "recalculate GM tendencies based on these weights" and under Global Settings I clicked on "recalc all ratings + run full re-scouting".
Note: I did this on the first day when I started the replay.
Through May 9, 2016 on my replay the Chicago Cubs are 22-9, 5.5 games in first place. In real-life the 2016 Chicago Cubs were 24-6, 7.5 games in first place at this time.
My goal is to get caught up with the real-life team which is why I'm currently playing a combination of one-pitch mode and pitch-by-pitch mode. Once I catch up with the real-life Cubs, I'm going to manage strictly by pitch-by-pitch mode in real-time.
I can't say that these settings are for everyone, but so far they've worked for me and this is after doing a LOT of tinkering and experimenting.
