Settings to help older players still produce good numbers

Cowboys3356 · 05-05-2004, 01:12 PM

In the League Setup section of V6 what do you guys set the Player Development Modifiers to for Hitter/Pitcher aging speed?

I want to set things up to better reflect modern day baseball with players who can still be productive later in their career.

Thanks for the info!

Bump to this. Maybe Markus knows the answer...

Plus(+) on development accelerates their development (full potential earlier).

Plus(+) on aging accelerates their career (shortens career length).

I leave the settings as they are, and my aging patterns seem to be fine. My last MVP was 39, and my last Cy Young (in the other league) was 38.

I would agree. The V6 career curves are almost perfect. The modifiers should only be used if you want something out of the ordinary.

Thanks for the input! I have set my player aging to -5% and things seem to be working great. I am running a 1987 historical league with a 40 year old Nolan Ryan who is playing great and guys like Dave Winfield, Mike Schmidt, etc all in their late 30s and playing awesome. OOTP6 really seems to have taken care of the aging situation.
