D'oh!
Good job, Questdog. I wouldn't have thought of that.
Challenge Mode is a mode that gives you very limited control over the settings that you are able to change. It is designed to be much more of a "challenge" since you are forced to play by the settings Challenge Mode sets.
If you weren't playing in Challenge Mode, you could go into the player editor and make your weak, poorly hitting Shortstop into a monster with maximum power, if you wanted to. Or, you could force the AI to accept your trade offer even if they're getting hosed in the deal. It isn't limited to things like that, that some people would consider "cheating" or unsportsmanlike. You could re-arrange the two MLB leagues by putting the Mets in the AL East and moving the Yankees to the NL East. Or, you could disable the possibility of games being rained out...all sorts of little things...and all sorts of big things.
Frankly, I believe that is one of the great things about OOTP. We have the ability to set up our baseball worlds almost exactly the way we want. I put the word cheating in quotes because I do believe every ootp player should setup his leagues and play his roles anyway he sees fit. It's your installation of OOTP you should do whatever you want to enjoy this complex baseball simulator.
Challenge Mode says, "Nope. You're going to play by OUR rules..."
EDIT: I just noticed you've been a forum member since 2008. You probably already know all about the customizations you can do outside of Challenge Mode. Maybe my post will be helpful to some n00bie one day. LOL!
