I have often wondered if I should just play OOTPB as it is designed... but I never have done this... it just might be the best way to play the game...
Markus and the Gang know a tad bit more about the game than EC.
I don't think many people play OOTPB like I do... I'm quirky and a control freak... I never use the default settings... never use financials... never use the minor leagues... not interested in the financial aspects of the game... don't want to be general manager or manager... I just create the league and watch it play out.
Surely the minor league stats are better than 10-15 years ago... they were not very true-to-life back then... so I have never used the minor leagues... I just play at the Major League Level with Reserved Rosters.
In "Free Agents" I create my own free agents... create mainly 70% Average players, 20% Good players, 5% Star players, 4.5% Bench players and 0.5% Legend players,
I just put the Bench players in for the sake of variety, knowing they will never make it to the Majors... I consider that the team made a bad draft choice when they select a Bench player...I just randomly assign players in the Commissioner mode, based on each teams' needed, determined by the Positional Rankings (see Reports and Info).
The Free Agents Draft just clutters up the rosters with a lot of lousy players... I have seen them just sit in my Reserve Rosters for 10 years and never make it to the Major Leagues.
I just try to create players that have the talent to play in the Majors.
It works well for me.
