Which Data Base is Best?

batted balls · 11-14-2005, 08:27 PM

Hi! I need your help. I am planning on running a historical league starting with 2005. I have OOTP 6.10. Which third-party data base is the best? I've used the Lahman data base in the past, but it only goes up to 2003. Any ideas? Thanks!

I'm far from an expert on this, but I've heard that Arod/Garlon's new database is pretty good.

I'm curious how you will start a historical league in 2005 though?

Good point about a 2005 historical league. I want to start a league with the current Chicago White Sox roster. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

You would probably be better off downloading a roster someone made for 2005 and altering rosters to make them more current. The databases miss out on a lot of things, like fielding, splits, and catcher's arms.

Why are you only on version 6.10?

Good question. The latest free patch is 6.12.
