Player Longevity Question

kackle85 · 04-18-2013, 02:45 PM

I owned OOTP 12 and loved the game, had to skip 13 for financial reasons but on to my question. I know that in previous versions players were known to decline to quickly at to young of an age. Does anyone know if anything has changed in t his area. Would like to start a fictional league and want to make sure i make changes if necessary.

Rough summary, it's changed, but for the better, even at defaults. If you do a little searching around the forum, you'll find different takes on what works best. As for a fictional league, for my own tastes, I use .9 aging and 1.1 development for pitchers and batters alike. FWIW

Works great at default this year. Adjusting the settings to last year's numbers may be overkill. I see a fair amount of productive 36+ year old guys.

Awesome! Thanks guys. I can't imagine where this game will be in few years if the devs keep paying such close attention to our wishes!
