definitely possible... first, you'll need to import the values for that era. then, when you click autocalc or whatever, resulting league stats will be close to those imported values, not the modern MLB values.

think it's a drop down box there? select year? all else fails, load up a historic quickstart and write down their league totals and also LTM (defense, groundout % etc etc) not associated with league totals - as well as teh settings on the LEFT side of that Stats and AI screeen. write down all the roster strategies and such - - use of shift, use of releivers blah blah..

***********
all that should be able to import without all the work i just suggested. But, you can use it to verfiy that it's done correctly. take a screen shot.

After you have done this, becareful of the auto-import from Historical Year input box... make sure it doesn't continue to change each year or you will accidentally enter Modern Times again, lol. 1961, 1962 eventually 2015 etc. i think a post "2016" value won't import anything.

i'm not 100% sure on how it functions, so make sure to keep an eye on it as the calendar turns and act appropriately.

One caveat - any differnce in distribution of ratings may cause a slightly unusualy allocation of results too (likelihood of results, which in an infinite sample will be realized).... depends on how it all works under the hood. it may or may not stay proportional when you don't have what amounts to truncated ratings (i.e. 60's PCM has low power).
