How is this possible!? I would literally pay money to be able to see his full career stats.

For those wondering, this is just a default fictional league I created just to quick sim. I dont know why so often the best players in the league when a league creates are 35+ year olds.

Hurricane certainly an apt nickname.

Haha, indeed it is.

I wonder, if he stole 152 bags at 38, how many did he steal at 25? It's insane.

Is it at all possible to generate stats for players in new fictional league, similar to how amateur players get stats?

If your league started in 2020, the answer is he wasn’t playing baseball at age 25. I assume the game creates these superstar older players so the stats they create stay consistent with the league modifiers.

Thanks for the response, but I've probably created 500 fictional league in my years of playing the game. I know that the game creates players and randomly assigns ages (for the most part). Of course he was playing baseball at 25. However, the problem with creating fictional leagues is that there's no history, for obvious reasons.

I dont know if this works the same way. But I've noticed that a lot of times when the game creates ghost players to fill tournament rosters, they tend to skew old. Also the hitters all tend to be low contact/high power guys, which is weird.
