Why do I have to edit players annually?

tegurit34 · 12-27-2012, 07:14 PM

The answer is probably that I'm doing something wrong. I just got the game for Christmas and completed my first two simulated seasons and I noticed the players I edited the year before more or less return to previous unedited levels. Is there a setting that makes this keep happening, or is it a bug?

Noob question probably, so thanks in advance for any help.

It could be a few reasons such as scouting error or player ability changed.

One thing you can do is to turn scouting off or set it to 100% accurate. Then you can turn off the development engine. Probably wouldn't hurt to change talent change randomness to 1.

The game is designed for players to increase and/or decrease their abilities based upon several factors such as age, morale, level of competetion, etc.

Hope this helps.

Also, check out the manual.

Disabling Player Development

You can also completely disable OOTP's player development model, meaning that players will never increase or decrease in ratings. This is most often desired by historical simmers who don't want to see Lou Gehrig's contact rating drop, for example. You can disable player development on the Player Options section of the Game Options page. After game creation, navigate to OOTP Menu >> Game Setup >> Player and Picture Options.
