League Totals

CalvinHobbes · 09-05-2011, 01:10 PM

Just a small question. I hope that someone here has an answer, even if it's one I don't want to hear.

In the league totals, I have set my fictional league to import those from 1990. Is there anyway that I can get this to "stick", so that as my league goes through different years, the league totals don't change to 1991, 92, etc? I don't want to experience the so-called Steriod era again.

I tried to use the online manual to find this information, but I get an error when I tried to open it. Object not found. I hope that this doesn't mean that my copy is corrupt.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

I'm pretty sure if you uncheck "automatically adjust league totals modifiers for historical accuracy" that should do the trick . League options>>>league setup>>>strategy. Also be sure that "automatically adjust league strategy" and "automatically adjust league totals modifiers after each season for accuracy" League options>>>League setup>>>options. Haven't tested this myself.

Thank you. I forgot to mention that neither are checked. Maybe I'll check em, and then uncheck them again to see if that helps.

Thank you very much for your reply.

I'm at a lost. In general I have major issues when trying to apply the modifiers to "historical" feeder leagues. I'm at the point where I just use 2010 leagues and import historical players. Really frustrating.

Well, I've taken a snapshot of the league totals and simmed a season to have it go to 1991 and they've stayed the same. So I guess what I'm noticing is that offense really seems to pick up after the first ten years or so. I'm going to sim another season to see if the league totals change after the second year.

Just to be clear, it's a fictional league with only 8 teams. The first year the league ERA is normally around 4. A bit low, but as I sim it rises higher to get to 4.5 quickly, which I'm good with. But then it keeps getting higher, up to 5.5 and that's way too much as far as I'm concerned. I'm hoping that it peaks there. Then, maybe I can change the league totals again to get offense down, and then start it again, knowing that the first 20 years or so will be very low on offense. If that makes sense.

Thanks for your help.

In the 9 seasons of my ABF league starting in 2000, I have had peaks and valley's for my league ERA. in yr 1 it was approx 4.30 in yr 9 it's 5.10 thru 74 games. lowest yr was yr 3 at 3.90 with 3 of my SP having ERA's under 2.50 Note: although league ERA is high both my team AVG and ERA lead the league.
In my old EBL vs MLB league The Endor League the AL was really strong in ERA, having 4 of the biggest parks. The NL was really strong in offense having 3 of the smaller parks. That was thru 6 seasons. Note: my EBL started in 2003 but league strategy was set to 1976 with auto readjust.

Thanks CF76. I've simmed as many as forty years into the future and I can't seem to find a valley. The ERA just gets higher and higher (in fact, I think it got up to 6 at one point). I kept hoping that pitching would take over and it would come down after being above 5 for more than a few years, but it just kept getting worse. IMO, others may love a league where the score of an average game would be about 7-6. Homeruns don't appear to be rising, hits/avg/obp is about the same, maybe there are just more players doing more things and the game isn't creating enough pitching to combat.

I'm wondering if I have too many feeder teams providing too many players and not enough pitching? On the other hand it could be my use of a four man rotation. I don't know. I just wanted to build up a history before I apply for a GM role.

Thanks for your insight.

Is this just for feeder leagues and not you ML? try setting the league strategy to the 50's,60's or 70's with auto adjust on, then everything should be fairly well balanced for awhile.
