Looking for some suggestions from the community.
Want to go back and play a reserve clause game (so teams never loose players to free agency only trades). Problem is that all teams are pretty much equal under the OOTP format, there is no way a high market franchise can "stockpile talent" under the system, which is how it would work in real life (ie giants, yankees, cardinals in the 20's 30's).

Suggestions from those who tried this
Use international free agents?
Have a regional draft round and let those teams have better first round draft opportunities?
