One thing i noticed that you can import players from 1871 but the game only seems to calculate ratings based on real life stats from 1876 and on. What i mean is that i can import Cap Anson from 1871 but he will suck because the game sees no stats from 1871 but if i import him from 1876 the game will put him as one of the best 3b in the league.
So would it be better to have players from 1871-1875 that played in 1876 to
debut in 1876 thus losing players like Asa Brainard or move every players stats up to 1876?
