Hi, i'm new to this game and love it so far!! I'm really excited about this game. It's exactly what I have been looking for 25 years! omg! Ever since I owned an APPLE II+ and recreated the 1985 season with Microleague baseball I have looked for something that recreated the same excitement in a baseball game and no game has done it. Period! Over the years i've played Tony Larussa, All Star Baseball, EA Sports etc and none of them were what I wanted. OOTP has so much potential.

Now after that great testimonial so this game sells.. my question is.....

How come my statistal stats are so screwy? I'm trying to recreate the 1985 season playing as the Cardinals, who under great managment turned a rag tag bullpen and speedy rabbits into the National Division champs and 1 out from the World Series title.

How come when analyzing my players their batting averages are far below what they really were in real life, and the pictures ERA according to the game are 4.00 and up???

I have now restarted the calculations several times, using different options. Stat neutralized, normal, and recalculate stats at beginning of the year and each time for instance Willie Mcgee's average is far below his real average of .353 that year. It is usually in the .295 range

I have even started a league and Mcgee has gone 1 for 48 to start the season! My best starters have lost their games. John Tudor who had a RL ERA of 1.93 that year and 20 games won, starts off with 2 losses in my league and Joaquin Andujar also a 20 game winner gets rocked out of the park in the 4th inning and gives up 5 runs in the 1st in the next. Seriously?? No historical 1985 season I have ever played has the Cardinals stinking up the majors so much. I can understand losing a few games and that the Cardinals really did need great management to win the pennant but it's very hard to do it when your players aren't living up to even 50% of their real life potential.

Tommy Herr who had 110 RBIS now strikes out with men on. Darrell Porter who pretty much sucked at the plate all year is now having a decent year??

Is there another database that I'm not aware of, or some option that lets me put the stats in as they really should be? Since I can't edit the # of at bats I have to recalculate everything when trying to edit the players so their batting averages are what they should be.

What stat has to do with clutch hitting?

As far as the pitchers go, I'm not sure how I can go about adjusting them as I can't adjust the # of hits they gave up.

This game has so much potential.. so why such goofy wrong stats for historical teams and horrendous gameplay on the field?
