Now I have tried to import some MLB players so their careers would start when they were 18, instead of say 38.
I found Spritze's DB has different totals then the OOTP 18 DB. I used Eddie Mathews, Barry Bonds and Lou Gehrig as examples:
Now, I'm not sure which DB to use for importing. I guess the differences aren't that much, so maybe I'm splitting hairs! |
Yep, they are slightly different. I only use Spritze MLB players in cases where they're missing a season of neutralized stats in the OOTP database. The reason I use neutralized stats in the first place is to fill in the gaps, so when somebody is missing one, my OCD takes over and I can't help myself - I must have the Spritze version of that player. I take the late stage career superstars as they come, and realize that somebody unexpected will jump up and take their place in the HoF, and inevitably that's what happens. Of course I also use the Spritze DB for non-MLB players, which kinda goes without saying, so I don't know why I said it.
