Auto Expansion is on largely to deal with the Senators moving to Texas, otherwise things get broken fast for that franchise not getting their new players.

Real Minors are off (i.e. No Minor Leagues). Intent is for Real Players to come onto their Initial Real Teams in the first year they player in the Majors. Hence No Draft.

Development turned off.

No Dates moved.

Tweaks would have been minor as I see issues. Examples:

1. noticing 7 Game LCS not sticking after a rollover, moving back to 5 Games, and bumping it back up.

2. noticing 4 man RP / 16 Man Roster for DH leagues resetting (quite possibly the goofiest thing I've seen), and pushing it back to 5/15 post rollovers each year.

3. Moved AI trading from Low to Very Low after seeing more stupid AI trades than I recall from OOTP19... and lord knows OOTP19 AI made lots of silly trades.

And... I don't recall what else. Had to have been something as these are very minor. 1 & 2 are things I also in the first season (1970) as well, with no impact on the rollover New Players being brought in. I'm pretty sure #3 was a 1970 one as well when I saw Joe Morgan get traded for total garbage (far worse than the eventual Reds-Astros trade).

Even just now running through the settings, I don't see anything.

It's a play-through starting in 1970, and it's only 1972 --> 1973 rollover when this happened. I have 1970 & 1971 EOS back ups, so can go back to them.

Just want to know what they heck to stay away from and not accidentally hit. :-)

PS: thanks LansdowneSt. I seem to recall you helping with one of my questions in the past years ago. As mentioned, the folks here have always done my good in answering questions.
