OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Couple of questions about random debut league

Decided I'd try one of these for the 1st time with OOTP16 and it's a really fun concept. Having a couple of issues though that I was wondering if anyone knows tweaks for:

1. It produces way too many good players in the inaugural draft and the subsequent rookie drafts. I would've much preferred to keep my league at 16 teams in "1901" and expand in a somewhat historical way but I've been forced to expand to like 36 teams after one year just to stop every team from turning in to an all-time great all-star team which is not what I want. (plus am worried the supply of players will run out after a few years at this rate). Is there any way to make the number of players in the drafts smaller and the talent distribution per year more realistic? (couple of great players, lots of mediocre ones)?

2. I'd also really like a way to make everyone in the inaugural draft in this kind of league young (like 21 or so) because it kind of sucks to have Babe Ruth show up as a 36 year old and play one year in your league. I did edit every player manually in my league and don't really want to have to do that ever again [it took forever]...

Thanks and great games as always, OOTP Developments.
