overall setting suggestion to have players play longer

fredbeene · 07-25-2020, 11:01 PM

Goal.
I want to start in the 50s with historical replay using only real players (ghosts are ok if needed fill out minors)
I want to have 32 teams by 1970 or sooner.

I want players to play longer, say average retirement age 38.
I am ok with the drop off in talent....
I think the talent should rise with increase playing time, coaching (that is what i am hoping)

What settings can i make to ensure there are enough players and that they play longer?
All i can think of is
Aging set low (.1?)
dev set high (4?)
Set injuries to less than normal?

Manually (ugggh) increase POTENTIAL ratings?
Perhaps set personality to all HAPPY (in my world all players are happy and grateful to be playing the wonderful game)

Thoughts?

In regular replays that i have experimented with by just adding a couple teams, i have to unretire a bunch of people, set them to ironman.....adjust potential (i never adjust the actual ratings)
