OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - No Minors or Feeder League—How Do You Stock A League?

David Watts · 10-10-2013, 11:21 AM

The reserve roster is stocked during the inaugural draft based on how many rounds your draft is and whether or not you use budgets. From that point on, you(and the AI) fill rosters through drafts, trades, free agent signings etc. Players develop just as they do when using minors, but you won't have any stats to use as a guide to their development. You will strictly have to go by ratings. I never play with scouts or coaches, so I can't answer anything in regards to scouting budgets. I do recommend you set a reserve roster limit for your league. I usually set somewhere between 25 or 30, but I've heard of people setting it lower. The reason you want this is to make sure teams don't hoard talent.
