I play 1951 until Barry Bonds retires in the game which is 2005 - 2010. All comments relate to this year range and OOTP 21.
The thing to remember about the sliders is the center point is not an absolute value. That value changes based on the league strategic tendencies for the year being played. If you were to move the slider all the way to the right in 1960 you'd get a lot more shifts. Do the same in 2000 and the increase won't be as much because the value in the center is higher to start with and there's less increase possible.
I don't set it for more shifts because I don't know the effect. But I do know if I leave it centered I'm getting league average so overall aren't hurting myself.
I choose who is going to play and who the subs are. I have sabermetric lineups set and let AI determine the batting order. I'll sometimes change the leadoff hitter. I think AI values speed too much. I'm more interested in on base than speed.
One season AI insisted on batting Freddie Patek leadoff because of his speed. I didn't like that because of his poor on base percentage. So I put in player strategy to force bat 9th That way if he did get on the top of the lineup could benefit from his speed but I wouldn't have a poor on base guy leading the team in plate appearances.
