clamel - mixing real ad fictional player development together would produce results tha you definitely do not want. Anyway, each year there is an abundance of CoC players in the draft. So there's really no need to extend the careers of any players. Each team in the league will have close to 40 players available to them anyway even with players retiring on time (or early if it is a CEI) depending on the time period. Also, remember IRL some players would come uo for a handful of games and then get sent back down to the minors for several years before being callled up again...with OOTP historicals these players will of course be available in the game any year between thei first year and their last. There ar more than enough players.

I actually like to play with 20 teams from 1901-1960 instead of 16, and still the teams have plenty of players to fill their rosters.

You actually should check the Disable Player Development option in historicals. If you don't do this then your player ratings are going into fictional development each season and that causes alot of weirdness in the results IMO.
