Thanks for the read.
My settings are basically out-of-the-box as well, but a couple years ago I checked around the web and found these changes, along with my experience, to be pretty good. I play modern day MLB and play-out all of my games.
20 to 80 scale (what the scouts use)
No Stars (fairly sure this is a handicap for the player over the AI).
Trade AI: Very difficult, favor prospects.
The only house rule is I make sure that I stay in-budget; other than that, if I see a really obvious trade for a famous home-grown franchise talent, I usually avoid it; but then again, see Boston this off-season.
I play the Orioles and have found that with these settings, it can be pretty rough going for a few years, especially as of late.
