If the inclusion of thousands of negro leaguers into OOTP isn't your cup o' tea because the source data isn't 100% pure - or for whatever other reason - I'm reasonably sure that nobody will force you to use them in your game.  |
put very well. After all, this is a game and as far as i can tell, none of it is 100% re-enactment of life as it happened, or is going to happen. i understand some people's position that the Negro League data base will not ever been perfectly complete, but that doesn't change the fact that what can be gleaned and re-discovered and put into a data base for those who would want to use it should be encouraged. i for one would like to see it and use it.
