I'm considering updating my version of OOTP but curious first if you can do this in OOTP12. I've always wanted to play with a database where player ratings are normalized across eras. What I mean by that is that ratings are not set to a standard for one year (modern) so that the ratings of players from past eras are all created relative to today. But instead, player ratings are created relative to the era/year they played in. So if I was using the 1-10 rating scale, a player with an average number of HR in 1920 would import with power rating of 5 or so, as would a player with an average number of HR in 1950, or 1990, etc.

Similar but slightly different question - in this version, if I wanted to try to achieve the above effect by a different route - letting players keep their ratings relative to today but just adjusting the stats to produce overall league stats correct to a past year, can that be done without lots of adjustments? In the last version I own, OOTP9, I could achieve this affect for non-modern players but had to edit things by hand, especially the power & movement ratings of deadball-era players, because the game didn't reproduce modern HR stats with the ratings imported for players from that era.

Hopefully these questions make sense, if not I'll try to clarify.
