I'm trying, not sure if it'll be done in time — it depends on when the July patch is going to go out.
On another note, I'm thinking of having interleague play occurring from 1871-1881. Two reasons for this:
1) It means I can use the real schedules for 1876 and 1879-81 with a minimum of editing;
2) It means there'd be a better distribution of player interactions as compared to having play occur only within each four-team subleague.
With the 1871-81 seasons limited to subleague play only, it means a lot of games against the same teams each season. This consequently would mean many fewer matchups between certain pitchers and batters than happened in real life. I can't but help think this might negatively impact the player statistics. By having a balanced, interleague schedule it means the historical players will have their games distributed amongst opponent clubs and players just like in real life, which should eliminate any potential statistical troubles.
Given that having two (sub)leagues in those years is a fiction anyway, it doesn't seem to me to be that objectionable to have interleague play happening for those seasons, especially in light of what I mentioned above.
What does everyone else think?
