I posted this in General Discussions but this may be the better place. Playing a Historical game starting in 1957 managing the Orioles, while using Auto Play I get a message on 6/13 that D. Williams has been traded. Just for the heck of it, I go to Baseball-Reference.com to verify that and it is true. However, while there I check the actual line-ups for that day and D. Williams started for the Orioles in LF.

In my game, on 6/13 the starting LF for the Orioles was Bob Nieman. It would appear that Real Life Transactions take place BEFORE the games of the day are played and perhaps the sequence should be games played that day then transactions? It would be rare, I think, that a player traded on a given day would appear in uniform for the team he was traded TO but this shows it is quite possible for a player to be traded AFTER the day's games are played.

The good news is that the game did not crash because a player who was in the real lineup was not available and a substitution was made. One game is a very small deal in the overall scheme of things in this case, but it still detracts, even in the smallest, from historical accuracy. Were this a SP the impact might be greater.
