OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Random debut league: overly dominant rookies

On default settings past 2019, it's known that HR/K totals are jacked up, just like they are currently in real-life. The best way to get around this is to just tone down the modifiers for HR and K in the league total settings. Or you can use an earlier non-roid/juicedball era year for your league totals, click on the auto-calc modifiers button once, and then unclick the annual league totals checkbox.

Random debut is also my current preferred mode, but you have to recognize it's more of a "fictional" league with players loosely based on their real-life counterparts, rather than designed to actually reflect real-life seasons. So there will be some silliness where a guy who hit 5 HR in the deadball era turns into a 40 HR hitter. In a way, it adds some challenge in that stacking your team with the best-known players isn't necessarily going to work all the time.
