I know I play OOTPB in a weird fashion... I micromanage it and make custom fictional leagues... I never just use default leagues and game settings.

Using a custom league I am doing a replay of the 1949 Southern Association season.

The first two seasons I created all of the players and their stats on the free agents page and the league and player stats were remarkably accurate.

This year to save the input time I am trying to import them from the game's minor league historical database and it is not going well.

When I do this the pitchers ERA are not close to the real life stats.

Is there a way to change a pitcher's ERA?

I use the player editor to adjust batting stats and fielding stats... they seem to work well, but the pitcher's rating editors don't work well.

I just have to use trial and error to make the ERA adjustment... changing the ratings of the pitcher's repertoire and the ratings in the pitcher's ratings editor (Batters Faced, IP, Home Run Allowed, BB, K, HBP, WP)

By doing this I'm afraid that the pitcher ratings will be out of whack when I start playing out the season and the league stats will be totally out of line.

Can anyone offer any advice?

Would appreciate your help.

It could be I'm trying to do something that the game can't do.

That's what Spitze told me if I understood him correctly... he is the OOTPB expert on the minor leagues.
