I lack the ability to analize my data to the proper extent though.
Bite your tongue

Era settings are one of the most important things used by historical leagues IMO. And even non-historical leagues could make better use of them. I chuckle everytime I see someone complain about batting averages being too high or low, too many home runs or too few, etc. All it takes is an adjustment of the era numbers and you get more realistically acceptable numbers.

For me at least, the day era settings are removed is the day I quit playing OOTP.
