HOWEVER, the AI was still giving those massive 9 and 10 year contracts to players aged 32+. I changed the setting that only allows contracts to only be 6 years in length, but that doesn't really help the AI, they still end up with teams full of quickly deteriorating veterans. Additionally the AI can't handle minors with those settings, players sit in R ball for 2 years, then a half season at A, then right to MLB.
So I don't know what to do. Can't keep the settings at default because the league is filled with grandfathers. Can't adjust them because the AI can't cope.
Many oldschoolers still don't realize that, on average, over the past 4 MLB seasons, only 44 out of 752 players with 200PA or 40IP were over the age of 35 (that's just 6%). OOTP defaults are closer to 13%, and the payer pool of ages 23-27 (not enough vs real life) are basically inverted with ages 28-32 (way more than real life).
So more setting options are needed, or hard coded changes need looked at. But like someone already said, depending on the users style of play, any changes would alienate 50% of the user base.
