Your using past stats for your current player profiles........or are you updating players rotisserie style.
Yesterday a 'current' roster included Kenny Rogers, today i guess he's off........
Rocket Roger's not hurt - he could pitch, but he's not signed. When is he 'current'.

Sorry to be a bit off topic, but to me 'current' of OOTP is the day the last season finished.

This is the reason I've been completely converted to the fictional world of my dreams. No pre-conceived notions, and just plain fun is all that it is. This is a big reason why, when I create uniforms, I mostly like to stick with fictional so that I don't have to be told that they "should" be this way or that way.


My hat goes off to the roster makers who have been dealt a lot of grief by the impatient few, and to most on this board who have been patiently waiting for the latest rosters. I know you will be happy when you get them!

I second mh2365's reasoning for playing with current rosters. Learning the new draft class every year, is easier than learning an entire league from scratch.

Additionally.
You are given the control of your favorite team, today. That is appealing as many of baseball fans have thought, if I was the GM of "team" I woulda made that trade. Or, if I was the manager I would start "so and so". OOTP allows you to do just what you and your buds/family talk about doing.
