No teaching or creating new positions here - these things actually happened.

Like swamp dragon said, the game is actually doing pretty well.
If you are using recalc then yes the game is doing good. I said I don't use recalc. I can guarantee you can look all day and you will not find Carlton Fisk playing shortstop. I also said I choose to have the game import players based on entire career fielding ratings so a player can get rated at all the positions he actually played in his career. Those are the only positions I want them to play and I don't really care which one of those positions he plays. So having Sheffield play SS or Yount play OF is ok with me. But having Fisk play SS or having Ozzie Smith play catcher is not ok with me. I don't want to see any player at a position he never played in his entire career. Now you will never hear me say anything other than OOTP is a GREAT game. I can live with this and just delete those positions as they are added if nothing can be done about it. An option for historical leagues to not allow a player to play a position he is not rated for on import would be great but might not be doable.
