The final settings I used for 1871 turned out to be 100000,35121,5552,1134,3908,10029,0,9556

I used IatricSB's era calculator located here: http://utilities.boys-of-summer.com

Although it only allows you to start in 1901. I saw that the HTML page it uses to calculate simmed league totals is pretty much the same for OOTP3 and OOTP4. Each year, I manually enter the initial ratings and league totals into the texts files as "1901".

I then back up my league file and keep playing the season, using the ERA calculator to analyse the results and give new settings, and then restoring and replaying the season with those new settings until I am happy with the results. If all stats get to within 10% of the MLB actuals, I usually am satisfied and move on to the next season.

I am currently in 1879 right now. I will probably post a 10 year report after the 1880 season is completed.
