I think it would be a good idea to try to coordinate our efforts a little bit, baseballman.

You said you're nearly done with your editing, so I'd like to know which teams are playing in which years, and if you're basing this off of the lahman database. I've been doing most of the work in pre 1882 years, and it looks as if the years after that date should be easier.

I suppose this will eventually be a quickstart or a template, but I've never run either of those. What I'd like to see is the ability to get all the correct settings (from the Rules and Options tabs, not from strategy/player creation) and schedule loaded for the initial year, and then at least be able to auto load the correct schedule for the remaining years (until 1901, where I'd like to see the game auto load the normal historical schedules). I noticed in my sim yesterday that the game did not load the 1901 historical schedule once the game got to that year, even though it was still importing the historical rookies and presumably auto expanding.

But those are things I'm sure others have much more experience with, I'll concentrate on at least getting the ground work done for the schedules.

By the way, I do get along pretty well with most Packers fans. At least we share a common hatred of Bears fans, and we can always make fun of those pitiful Lions fans
