I have an Alltime Allstar League with 4 separate leagues...Majors, AAA, AA and A. Each major league team has farm teams in each class. Since I just recently installed Pierre's great player importer, I can now promote/demote players from one class to another with their ratings in tact. It really cut down on editing player ratings.

I made all players the same age...26...having read on this forum that 18 to 22 year olds do not develop quickly. In a previous alltime league the players ranged in age from 18-24 and the younger players underperformed. Joe DiMaggio at 18 hit only .250...in my first season at 26 he hit .310.

When the players age to 31, I will change their age back to 23 and then let them play out their career.

I want it to be possible for players to have the potential for 15-20 year careers.

Do you think this will work?

Will this screw up the Game's player development?

Your comments and suggestions are appreciated.
