	The Player Development Settings allow you flexibility regarding OOTP's player model. The first several options in this section are ''modifiers''. The default setting of 1.000 for modifiers produces results that are consistent with modern-day baseball. You can change these modifiers to suit your baseball universe. To decrease a modifier, enter a number less than 1. For example, a modifier of .500 should roughly halve the expected results. To increase a modifier, enter a number greater than 1.

''Note: When you change the financial coefficient, values such as the 'typical salary' values in the league setup will change automatically. For example, if your typical coach salary was set to $200,000, and you change the financial coefficient to .500, the typical coach salary would become $100,000. However, you must switch tabs before the changes will become apparent.

Player Rating Scales[edit | edit source]

 |Overall/Talent Ratings
 |Scouts in OOTP give each player an overall rating. You can choose not to show these overall ratings, use a 20-80 scale, or use a star-based system. The star-based system displays player ratings from one-half to five stars, in half-star increments. The 20-80 system can be set to either display values only in increments of 5 or all values.

 |Keep transaction logs . . .
 |Allows you to define whether to discard old transaction log files to save disk space. You can choose to keep none, all, or just the logs from the last two or ten years. Discarding transaction log files means that you will no longer be able to view transaction logs from those years.

Brad K: Improved unclear wording in prior version. I'm still not sure this is as clear as it can be.
