The more I look at it, the more I think it tends to be an individual issue for different players, rather than a DB-as-a-whole issue. Palmer imports as 3/10 and Carlton as 6/10. Of course, their endurance never increases.
But Seaver, Ryan and other powerhouses import with proper high endurance levels.
This leads me to believe there is something going on in the case of Palmer, and to a lesser degree, Carlton. Not sure what it could be. I'll take a look at the ootp8 Gambo DB and see if I can discern anything.
Other than that, I have to say that playing with recalc OFF and talent change set at 40 (which is a 20% chance of change), the game is
seriously enjoyable. I am still fiddling around with the batter/pitcher development speeds (I didn't like the .5 setting that, I believe, RonCo recommends - waaaay too slow for this league). But with the recommended aging settings, I am seeing really interesting declines, or at times lack of declines. Mick bit it at around 34 (diminished to average), but Mays and Aaron are totally hacking the ball in their mid-30's!
LUB IT!!!!
