I'm still getting a handle on the lingo and I'm hoping to ask this question correctly.

I'm starting a season with the real 2018 Opening Day rosters (actually the players on the rosters) in OOTP 19. We're using real players (no fictional at all). This will be an online league with 18 human owners. We are porting from another game. I have imported all 1200 major and minor league players (including salaries and service time) from our old league.

The plan is to play our future seasons on the real baseball schedule, April to October. Our 2018 season will start a little late this year but will end on time.

Although I'm sure an EOS roster will be available at some point in November, I don't believe it's something I should be messing with if we're planning on moving to OOTP 20 next March/April.

If I don't apply a roster update in November and wait until OOTP 20 comes out, will that impact the off-season?

When we update to OOTP 20 next March, how do the player ratings change? Do they get changed based on the Historical Player Ratings recalc settings? ??Recalc player ratings base on real stats after each year??

(I **think** with player development turned on players can progress a little during the season, so a rookie not ready at the start of the year might be ready with more seasoning. When the player gets recalculated, though, any progression will be wiped out.)

I guess I'm a confused about the terminology and differences between advancing a season (which I assume takes place at the end of the current league year -- 2018 in OOTP 19) and progressing during the year, and moving to a new game version/season.

So, when does the recalc take place? At the end of the season when we advance to the off-season or when when we buy OOTP 20?

If it's when we buy OOTP 20, do the player ratings change to 2019 Opening Day Ratings or do they get recalculated based on my Historical Player Ratings recalculation setting in the Historical section of the Game Settings.

OOTP looks like a wonderful game with a lot of flexibility in how things get set up. I must admit some of the options are a little daunting to get set up the way each person likes.

Thanks in advance for your help.
