these are historical players? used ootp ratings?

as long as you don't surpass the most recently completed season when the league was created, it will be able to recalc ratings as per historical results. there's an import from previous release function from main screen, so that's easy enough.

if you do surpass it, you probably want to turn the developement engine back on, i'd assume. importing to a new version with an 'old' league won't have new rosters, nor the new amatuers.. .you'd have to export/import draft classes and re-use ID's etc etc. or some extra hoops to go through to do it, but can be done. you'd have to becareful of duplicates in successive years as you may have drafted players the previous year when the real teams did not do so. delete any matching names in comparing 2 exported files before and playerid hack.

ratings and 'developement'
depends on your settings how the ratings are created/calculated each year and whether you want the developement portion of the game in effect.

not neccessarily exclusive of each other, but one would limit the other's effect.

ST - knocks of rust from offseason layoff. ip and ab are the counter per manual - maybe? (check manual, it mentions specific incremental factor it checks.)

if development enging is off, you won't have changing ratings between re-calcs. or however you have it set up as intended.

as far as residual impact, it won't be permanent if you recalc the ratings per setting in some incremental way, or if it's just at creation of player and meant to allow some random developement and evolution etc. when/if any re-calc of their ratings occurs it will reset it, so to speak.

there's an option somewhere that says 'prevent fictional player from making the mlb" [sic] -- at minimum verify that. otherwise, you just have to click through the settings if you want to verify that. any list someone tries to create for you will bound to be missing something. gamesettings, and each tab under league settings deserve a quick glance except the obvious ones - database, structure etc.

i've never tried to set anything up like that, but some combination of league rep/quality, salary options, region and timing of events like FA - et al.
