PML Season 1 Ability Players: The Culling

In PMl, we have some of the greatest players in the league start with superstar and superstar xfactor development traits. Only a certain amount of development traits are allowed per tier and as the season goes along those thresholds are broken and go above.

We will then come back and look at any new developments or regressions once we advance to the superbowl and one more look at the dreaded development culling after the superbowl.
