These are significant problems with the basic functioning of the game which should be fixed first. Before 3D enhancements, before rotation tweaks, etc.
I have no idea how you’d make the 3rd thing work given the facts of standard distribution and probability, and #4 doesn’t make a great deal of sense to me either - you can literally just run a league with everything set to 1, although the totals will be funky, and if you do allow the game to adjust LTMs they will have the same effects on all players. I don’t understand what it’s asking.
