Ah yes. Forgot to mention that too. That happens every year. I forgot because I'm always right on it on the first day of the offseason, so I'm kind of on auto-pilot with that.
I also neutralize the weather and all the ballparks in my world - a bit control freakish I know, but somebody (I think it was Garlon) told me to do that many moons ago.
I also manually import financial settings for the following season on this day so that the free agent contracts will be set up properly (a player signed in the 1907-1908 offseason will play his first season with his new team in 1908 so the first day of the offseason [first day after the postseason] is the time to do this).
There are four things on the options page that I have to change every year. Can't figure out all of them right now, but I'll know them when I see them once the first day of the offseason comes. Obviously one is the number of games on the schedule. One other one is that I customize my playoffs in order to get LCS and WS in seasons when there was only a WS in real life. There's something with the All-Star game too. I think it's roster size, which I like to keep at 28 during the early years, but the game resets it to something else. Possibly the Allow Rainouts function switches on, and I like to keep it off. Like I said, I'll know more once I reach the end of this season, which could take me a while.
