I run two fictional MLB clones that are 75 (above) and 100 seasons into play. The longer one is currently 45/40/15.

Here's the original post on this subject. It's a great read, and one I visit quite often.

I'm currently playing a fictional universe, and have been using 5/55/25/15, because I am playing "stats only." I'm using HS and College feeder leagues, so for the draft, you do have players with multiple years of playing time to help with your decision making. I haven't seen anything too "wonky" to where I feel I need to tweak things. There are always some "head scratchers" with the AI's draft selections, but overall, nearly all of the first round selections, I could justify as legit. I haven't taken over a team yet, so just observing the first five seasons that I simmed. Some players I may have selected later in the first round then where the AI selected them, but to me, they were all first round selections.
*And the thing I really like with the AI is, yes, it can see the ratings/potential ratings, which plays a part into their draft choices, but when you look at say a pitcher and his WAR, ERA+, BABIP, and WHIP, which in one case were all great, despite his 3-4 record in HS, you could see why the AI chose that player in the first round.
I'm trying to get the AI to look more at stats, but as Sir Michael has mentioned in the thread I posted, the AI still looks at ratings regardless. In the original thread, MizzouRah was playing fictional, and used 25/50/20/5, or 20/50/20/5, although in the end, he uses
30/50/15/5 and said that was working fine for his fictional universe. Any suggestions on your own experience with fictional?
For the questionable draft choices, the AI can "see" the ratings/potential ratings, which is something I can't. I only have "other ratings" checked, so I can see speed/stealing/running/fielding and pitchers stamina and hold runners, but that's it.
I'm now in the process of taking over a team in dire straits(Tigers or Brewers), or expand the league, and take over an expansion team, so will be fun to see how things play out. Been playing this game since OOTP4, and still find this a fascinating subject.
