Development turned off, trades turned off, aging turned off, personalities and owners turned off, etc.
Basically every team was identical and every player was identical, all with obnoxious defense.
The surprise I see is that one team was demonstrably better than the others, and it was the one at the total neutral ballpark.
May try something later where I play with one team of max defense players and another with a random historical team, and see how they do over several long sims with the max team at the different style parks.

This is very interesting data. I guess that is good advice. Keep it neutral until you can clearly see it isn’t working.
