Hello! I have been playing OOTP for a while now, and for this year I wanted to do the most realistic simulation I could possibly do. Now with this, I have had my concerns that I would hope that I could get some feedback from other gamers. What I am about to say is nothing disrespectful to the game, but is mainly just certain tweaks that I could adjust in the settings.

My concerns:

1. After the first season, many players get DFA'd or larger market teams will sign players and they end up just playing in AAA. This is something I could change in the settings, but what would be a change that doesn't affect realism as much?

2. Teams will not call up prospects and give them a shot. I had Jacob Nix in a simulation in the minors until he was 28. Would there be a way to encourage a possible youth movement more often?

3. What is a good AI stats evaluation to go off of? Is 40/30/20/10 okay? I know adjustments might be needed as it becomes more fictional in future years.

4. Any other tips? I was thinking I would control trades while letting AI do free agency.

Thanks!
