OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - What are ideal settings or ways to make solo leagues more challenging

I have been able to keep OOTP challenging in my fictional league with these settings:

In Game settings:

Scouting Accuracy = Very Low
Player rating scales = 1 to 5
Trade AI settings = Very Hard and Neutral
No draft pick trading
Fictional Player settings = 17 and 18

These setting have made the game very challenging (but not impossible) with few to no house rules. The very low scouting accuracy (with 1 - 5 ratings) create a large fog of war. Having the young age (17-18) makes for all players having a long development period. Nothing like having multiple years of first round picks become wasted picks. Makes you want to pull your hair out, but it also keeps you on your toes with how your players are doing.
