I'll look into this again though  |
That would be great. Please see this post:

I also posted similar stuff last year on the OOTP board. I will usually set the eval %s as 10/50/30/10, meaning 10% ratings, 50% current stats, 30% last year's stats, and 10% 2 years ago stats. Sometimes the issue comes up before a season starts, which could mean the "current year's stats" are causing the problem because there are no current year stats until games start - 50% of nothing. But wouldn't that effect a number of people? But sometimes, it happens midway through a season - look at Cal McLish 1948 and Charlie Case 1908 or Don Schwall 1966.
What I really want to get to is a situation where stats matter almost entirely, so that the AI is reacting to good or bad performance in its decision-making, and not seeing a drop or jump in talent between seasons and making pre-emptive, "omnipotent" decisions.
