So I bought this game more than a year ago but really only started playing in the last 6 weeks (gee, I wonder why I had the time to start).

Bottom line is I LOVE IT. Am totally addicted. I normally start with a game by diving in but I'm trying to spend time with the tutorials and on here. I have three questions including two about the progression of historical leagues. Hopefully knowledgeable players still check this board.

1. I l made a couple of experimental edits to players just to see how it works. If I have the historical setting to "Recalc player settings based on real stats after each year" - will those edits be done away with during the offseason?

2. ON the same subject, forgetting about edits, does that "Recalc" setting mean essentially the player ratings will totally be reset for , in my case, the 1976 season?

3. I can't find it now but I thought I've seen something about an OOTP player Development system. Is that an alternative to recalculating each season or can it be both/and? If the latter, how does that work exactly?

Apologies if these should have been easy for me to find out - but any help is appreciated. Plus I'd love to get into some dialogue with veteran players as I had no idea this game was so much fun.
