OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Opinions wanted on fictional league records

JDOldSchool · 08-10-2004, 07:04 PM

I've recently started a fictional league (2 leagues, 16 teams, 140-game season) and I'm debating what I should do about records. Specifically, should I consider the rookie records set during the first year of the league as true rookie records?

Some of the players setting rookie records are hardly rookies. In fact, they're not even rookies based on the randomly generated service time. So I'm just asking for opinions. Should I keep the "rookie records" that will be set at season's end or should I erase them to allow real rookies in the future a realistic chance at setting records. The reason I'm considering this is because it's going to be hard for a rookie to have a .360 average or more than 40 home runs. The players setting these records are very much established.

Thoughts? Opinions?
