MLB Game Rules/Options

I'm staring a new 2016 MLB game and was wondering if you all go through and change any settings/rules before you start.

i usually increase draft from 35 to 40 rounds. Sometimes I change trade frequency to low, but I do change the difficulty to Hard.

I do the following on all MLB current and historical setups when I start one:

Disable the DH
Delete entire league history (gets rid of all players' real-life historical stats)
Make sure players retire according to history
Make sure players miss seasons according to history
Do historical rookies only (no random debut)
Make sure all teams have same fixed National Media Contract
Make sure all budget is available to all owners
Sometimes I set up a salary cap, which is the default average quality player typical salary multiplied by 25
Change Cash Maximum to $1
Change award names to real-life counterpart names
Make sure my league is stats-only
Change Player Evaluation AI settings to 0/67/22/11 (per The Wolf)
