Custom League player ages
I started a custom league with NHL setup using real players without initial draft and set starting date to 1980, I got quite a suprise since all the players born prior to 1980 were toddlers and all born after 1980 were way overdue to kick the bucket.
there are 3 things that are happening with those players: 1) the 65k+ years old retire (all prospects, players in middle of their career) 2) some of the 65k+ years old last long enough to get to toddler stage (36 years or less in real world) (see Jimmy Howard screenshot) 3) toddlers gonna have some really long careers (see Patrick Marleau screenshot) What would need to be done is adjust date of births to starting date of the game. |

I think that if you want to play starting in 1980 you'll either have to choose between historical mode (and using the real players there) and generating fictional players.
I don't know of any way that you can start in 1980 with real current players and have their ages scale back. So far as I know, and Sebastian or Jeff can correct me if I'm wrong, the game just isn't really designed to do what you're trying to do.

That is correct.

Doesn't really bother me personally if it's possible or not, was not planning on doing that anyway, just saw the option and decided to test it, fictional players work ok with same setup.
Maybe disable the option if you change start year (same way as when you choose different setup from 2016 NHL) so this doesn't happen. |

That might be a good idea.
