I agree with everything you said in this post, however I don't understand what you mean by aging and development "flattened out".


Can you elaborate on your settings for that, and why?

edit: one other "realism" blurb I do is that, for every rookie class, I find all of the knuckleball pitchers and set their propensity to get arm injuries as low as possible. OOTP has them almost just right!
