The old "sim and delete history to remove seed players" question?

dcd111 · 10-19-2018, 10:38 AM

I've played several of the previous versions but didn't have time for 19 yet and I'm about to pick this up in the sale, so I inevitably will be creating a new fictional league in the near future.

My question is related to the old problem of seed players vs. draft-generated players, which I believe in 18 was less of a problem than it used to be but I still deleted all trace of the seed players when I started any fictional leagues in that game. I tried searching around the forum about this issue, but I was only able to find debates about whether or not to create some history before taking over from an immersion perspective. That's a separate issue (for the record I usually do that type of sim also). I'm asking whether I should sim 30 years until all the seed players are retired and then delete all of the stats and history because the seed players tended to have a very different talent distribution than draft-generated players in a mature league.

I haven't seen this issue in the past several versions.
