Sorry, Standard/Fictional/Historical/Custom/backups/templates gets little confusing for a newcomer.
OK, a little background. I'm coming from the Strat-O-Matic/Dynasty League Baseball/Diamond Mind Baseball model. I have a keeper league where we sign players and play one of these types of games. We've done it 28 out of the last 30 years. With these games, a new season "card set" comes out every season, with updated ratings and stats from the previous MLB season.
We're tying to move to OOTP where we keep our players from season to season but get updated ratings (and amateur draft lists) each new season. Now whether these player ratings are modified projections based on ZiPS, or projections calculated by blending together projections and past season data doesn't really matter as long as the player's rating are updated in an historical context that connects our Fictional League with our combined reality that is MLB.
Is there a way to accomplish this objective?
I've spent 70 hours in the last two weeks inside the game engine (at least that's what Steam tells me) and I've spent about another 70 hours Googling the game, learning as much as I can about how things work.
Thankfully many of the wonderful people on this board have tried to answer my many questions, including you. I am very lucky you've shared your time and knowledge.
Hopefully, though, these extra words clarify my question a little better and provide enough information so that I can figure out whether the game engine can support our plan for creating our own little baseball universe.
Thanks in advance for any clarity provided.
