No matter how many times I've tried it across many years or different players, within a year or two the players ratings will return to what they were before I edited them.

In effect, I can't insert a historical-"like" player into a fictional league.

Any thoughts?
first note that i do not play this type of league and have limited familiarity.

but...

there are settings that cause this to happen i believe? i'd review related historcal settings.

league settings - historical

most likely re-calc is on.


miscellaneous thought:

if you insert him as a kid, his career numbers are likely, but not garaunteed, to be below his actual "potential." age can be a significant factor among other things.

if you have development on and insert him younger than age 27/28 (whenever that portion of development ends - refer to manual), his potential will likely rise with good results and without a low work ethic/intelligence, etc until he reaches that cut off age for the development engine... after that it's tcr and age related. which is something else to consider and maybe test.
