I've been playing my long term historical-ish save from 25, 26 and now into 27.
Now I play with recalc off, and development, personality and coaching, and fictional internationals allowed in.
Moving from 25 to 26b was seamless.
I accept with the new ratings that ratings will move a bit, but I think my long term save is cooked now and I'll probably have to play it in 26 only if I want to keep it.
in my game I'm in 1968 and I'd been carefully planning to replace some ageing stars, and was very impressed with how I'd managed to plan for Mickey Mantle's body falling apart, and Willie May's ageing and also one of my fictional international pitchers.. I had drafted and developed well to have both an international fictional CF Roy Acret (45/73) on the cusp of a MLB call up right when i needed him. Same for my SP, I have a guy Bob Moose (who in my world as he developed over 4 yrs in the minros had outperformed his real career arc) and was also on the cusp of a MLB call up rated a 38/68.
When I imported to 27 though Moose had dropped to a max potential of 58 and Acret had dropped 10 points in potential as well.
These are just a couple of examples to illustrate a point. Previously I had a very balanced in progress development program across my whole organisation, and now its just a mess and with Mantle and May's and my pitcher's still ageing out, I now find myself without a coherent roster plan and will bottom out and have to rebuild if i persist with it in 27.
I normally don't like to mess around with editor and pump guys up.. but is this really my only option if i want to play my save in 27. If so any light touch suggestions to rebalance my now skewed roster?
Oh and I'm not complaining, given the list of changes from 26 this must be a nightmare to try and please everyone.
I'm, sure for those who play strictly pure historical would be fine, given recalc and dev being off, so it's probably my just desserts for messing with history in such a cavalier fashion
