Thanks for the replies. That is great. Sure, freezing players ain't realistic. But I figure if I freeze them all so that they can never get worse but only improve, the overall competitive balance won't really change. And since not all the players even have the potential to become a max player, you won't have them on every team. Some might not even max out their potential, since I assume at certain ages development slows/stops.
But I can understand how this might not be appealing to anyone. But for me, for a first run with the game it's a Great help.
I'm a stats man anyway. Not a purist that loves training and all that stuff. I wanna play 20 seasons and then pour over the stats of the big leagues and see what happened in that time.
But you two helped me immensly. I could've figured it out myself through trial and error. But who wants to do that when you already have to edit all these players before you can even start playing.
