I came here to say what @Roly said but he beat me to it. Pre packaged bots that fit a scheme is a good idea. Like picking the "Run OL" package, "3-4 LB", and the "West Coast WR" package would be fun. But if @PDXBaller has a builder tool, that will work too.
I think balancing the teams with equal TPE bots is a good thing because it:
1) As said before, the new players/rookies/actives/send-downs are the star of the show and now they will have teams built around them. Blah Blah Blah
2) It will make the teams who consistently update their players more likely to win (Team TPE linked directly to activity of players), as teams will no longer be carried by inactives (as seen last year by POR, our team was very successful due to Goose, Christ, and the DL)
3) It'll make the GMs who game plan and strategize much more valuable. No longer will GMs be able to hide behind high TPE inactives (see POR point above). The GM who puts together a game plan around their actives and game plans against opposition actives the best should win more often than not. It'll hopefully keep GMs engaged as well.
Also yeah, standardize rookie contracts.
