Can you make it so player can follow their real life arc?
For example, Ted Williams did not play in real life when he was 24-26 and retired when he was 42? Can I make a setting in Random Debut like I can in regular historical so that he will miss those 3 seasons and retire at age 42?
I tried a test league starting 1901 and In settings I had selected players miss season as in real life. At the end of 1901, 98% of the players were on the injured list since in real life they did not play in 1902.
And what about the setting for players retire as in history?
In random debut will the development engine automatically kick on or if you have that clicked off, will the game recalc the players ratings each year based on real stats for their corresponding age?
I am thinking about giving random a try but would like for it to basically follow the players real career as much as possible.
