Talent Change Randomness?

What TCR is everybody using in their offline save? I usually only bumped it up slightly maybe 110-120.

I have started my current OOTP 27 save with a TCR of 150.

Appreciate any insight.

I'm curious if the base TCR has changed at all because, typically, I actually do a touch lower TCR (like 90 or so). In 26, I personally found that too many solid MLB guys were just instantly turning into pumpkins upon starting a save.

Also wanted to see a little more consistency in terms of draft outcomes. Better outcomes from earlier rounds, fewer guys picked in the 15th becoming stars. It still happens, of course, but I think it happens less often in the modern game as scouting has improved.

Look at the non-international SP and (especially) position players at any ASG over the past decade and it's pretty heavily comprised of guys who were selected in the first five rounds, particularly 1 and 2.

Interested if anyone else feels the same way. Some people like the chaos and if that's you...crank it up. :P

I just use default. It just depend on how consistent or inconsistent you want your players to be. I know some really like to crank it up.

Thank you. I was just trying to spice up my game a little bit with some more randomness. Maybe 150 is a little bit aggressive and I should tone it down to around 125

You increase it? Absolute madman. I usually keep it between 50 and 100. 100 has been fine for the last few years. Perhaps this year I'll ride the lightning like you.

I'm like you....75 is the max I go

I usually leave mine at 100, unless I'm running one of my oddball leagues, then I'll max it out for funsies.
