So far i think the game seems to do a better job than in the past. I created a historical league using the lahman database 5.3 just to see how Cobb would do. I didnt make an ychanges to default settings and Cobb batted .329 and 677 steals and .313 and 450 steals in another. In both he played from 1905 until i ended each league around 1919. Of course thats just one player but usually he would do poorly unless you edited his ratings or used a modified database. I would like to get a 19th century league going so i can see how Cy Young does from the start. For me the game has never quite figured out what to do with Cy. First 3 years hes a starter, next 5 a reliever, then a starter, then a reliever. Someitmes he even went to closer and back to reliever or starter.
