I think there is a reason the market sizes change. I too, have always wanted to see "locked" market sizes, but I also think it may prohibit the AI in many ways. For instance if a teams signs very big contract, it's going to need more money to afford them, and so the market size may need to increase. If a team has a very low payroll, it may go down. I somehow think the reason these markets fluctuate is for the overall financial health of the game.

I am not 100 percent positive of this...it is my theory however.

I have always tried to explain in my annual settings recommendations...that market sizes aren't really market sizes in OOTP. I mean, they are, but they aren't. They are more indicative of a teams' "behavior".
