I have a few questions for Gambo and/or Spritze that I think will apply to either of your databases.

First, given the previous couple of posts, what actually happens if you use the databases without "recalc"?

Second, if using your databases with an annual draft, will the pre-defined values option work?

Third, what is your recommendation for the "prevent recalc of potential ratings" option when using your dbs? [To be honest, I'm not sure I understand that option anyway]

Fourth, if you want to start a game with an overall draft, is it better to create the league and then release all players into a draft pool or just to select the initial draft option upon league creation?

Fifth, given that neutered stats are recommended, is it essential to check "Adjust league totals for historical accuracy"? What would happen if you didn't? Would you get interesting, bizarre, semi-realistic results or madness?

Sixth, if you are going to repoint an existing league to the db, when (right after playoffs, pre-season, etc.) would you suggest doing so?

Seventh, let's say I create an American major league and point it to one of Spritze's no asian databases and then add a Japanese league pointed to the japan only db. If a japanese player became a free agent and got signed by an American team, would the game be able to handle it?

Oh, and one more: Eighth, with neutralized stats, is it important to have player development and coaching off? What happens if they are on?

Thanks for taking the time to answer all of these questions and, of course, for the time you put into the dbs.
