mrbill - turn down talent randomness or talk to your comissioner and have him do it. I'm in an online league that didn't even know you could lower talent randomness to lessen the massive ratings hits. I always set mine at 35 in solo leagues and have been happy with the results. I've seen others dialing it down to 25 or lower. I would definitely suggest using less than 50 to keep the "enjoyment" of playing OOTP alive and well.

Yeah. OOTP 5 couldn't have realistic development because the minors were always a bit too thin to support it. The % of guys who look promising in A-ball that don't make the show would make the game pretty sad to play, when there's only one level of A-ball.
I think we might want to consider that tweak in our league, but then again, we've just added more minor leagues and everyone's valued prospects accordingly. We'll probably just wait out OOTP 9's evaluation and switch, so everyone realizes there's a potential development change with the new version.
