A few things I have done recently
- Reduced draft to 20 rounds. Also I negotiate bonuses for all rounds
- Standardized minors so every team has the same number of minor league teams.
- I always have 2-4 Independent leagues..gives remaining FAs somewhere to play if not picked up.
- Financially I chopped everything so that 10M is a lot of money...100M payrolls only exist for 2 or 3 teams in the league. Personal preference, but seeing double digit salaries annually for the top players in the league is easier to wrap my head around then differentiating between a 30M/yr and a 20M/yr player.
- I have enabled draft pick trading in some of my fictional setups. does complicate things a bit...and not always worth it, but makes trading a bit more interesting
- a minor thing, but on the Stats&AI tab, I always drop the # of relievers and position players by one, which gives the AI 2 slots to use how they want. NO idea how this impacts the outcome but wanted to add a bit of randomness and variability to roster construction.
