I was doing a search for threads on what others might be doing to simulate some sort of reserve clause and found this, so I figured Id start the conversation up again (not that there was a conversation going on before

)

So far the best thing for me has been to set free agency to 12 years, but also set arbitration to 1 year. So by doing that you pretty much lock in a player until he is way past his prime if you choose to keep him, but at the same time having to think about contract extensions vs arbitration so the player is still getting paid what hes worth for the most part.

I also set visiting team gate share to 30% just to even the playing field a little more, and I set to a fixed media contract for everyone, pretty much to try to recreate the fact the news wasnt really spread as fast as today, relying pretty much on newspapers, and to a lesser extent the radio a little later in history. Later in history Ill switch to a regional based media contract

What experiments are you others guys trying ?
