Suggestion
Before features are made optional, there should be appropriate AI to handle all the available options.

Reason
The OOTP community loves options and with good reason, customizability is arguably OOTP's best feature. However, at times I think there are too many things turned into "options" just because of the reasoning "more options are better, so why not make it optional?" Well the main reason is, what good is an option if the there is no AI behind it?

It's great that we can select X number of minor league levels, but it kinda sucks if the AI teams don't know how to use them or player development is adversely affected because a player is playing above/below his appropriate level even if that level doesn't exist in your universe.

It's also cool to be able to choose the active roster and "40" man roster sizes, but does it do much good if the AI GMs have no idea how to manage your custom roster settings?

* not saying these things actually happen (i honestly don't know), just using them as examples

So yeah, basically when things are made optional there should be programming in place to handle the available options
