A lot of us use our own custom settings. The number of settings and things we can fine tune are almost endless. That's one of the great things about this game, but something that also causes problems. I haven’t started a long-term save with this version due to time constraints. From comments on the forum, there still seem to be some bugs that need to be ironed out. Hopefully, those will be sorted before I find the time to start a new save game.
I just ran a quick 2025 test season using the standard out-of-the-box settings and noticed the following:
1. The AI (still) releases a lot of minor league players over the course of the season. Only 2-star and lower players were cut. And the AI also (still) signs a lot of minor league free agents who are no better (and often older) than those it released. I don’t have that much of a problem with the players who were released. But replacing them with older players who are no better doesn’t make sense. There’s just too much unnecessary releasing and signing of minor leaguers, in my opinion.
Additional fine-tuning is needed here so that the AI only signs a minor league player if there is a) an unmet need for his services, and/or b) he is better (or younger) than players already in the system.
2. AI trading is working pretty well. Nothing to complain about here.
3. Players drafted in 2025 were not released.
