Say I create a historical league starting in 1921. Once the league is formed, I erase all history. I now have a zeroed out career leaderboard. I play the 1921 season and proceed to January 1st of 1922. My career leaderboard will now be the Johnny Evers show. See Evers played from 1902-1917, He didn't play in 18, 19, 20 or 21. He returned in 1922 for 5 at bats. When OOTP imports Evers for the 22 season, he enters the game with all his career stats from 1902-1917. So, when everyone else has a seasons worth of stats, Evers has a full careers worth. I simply can't figure a way to avoid this. I've tried creating a league several years in advance, simming ahead and then erasing history. I always end up with a messed up leaderboard. Back prior to OOTP17, the game had a bug. That bug would cause a player to never enter your historical league if he happened to miss the season you imported to start your league. For example, if you started your league in 1907, you would never get Eddie Cicotte in your league. Eddie made his MLB debut in 1905, but didn't play again till 1908. So, since his debut was in 1905, the game treated him as if he didn't exist. This was fixed for 17, but it created the inability to erase all history.
If someone could show me the light and point me in the right direction I would be forever indebted.
