1875 fictional inaugural players/bad stats

[tromboneandrew]

Using OOTP21, I want to start a league in 1875 using fictional players. I import the 1875 settings for player creation and financials and so on - that feature is a nice tool - but when I start the league and go to the inaugural draft, I see lots of hitters with modern homerun power ratings and similarly, pitchers with modern strikeout ratings despite only being able to throw in the 80s, and other "modern" stat quirks. Am I missing something or is this a bug?

I think what your seeing are ratings relative to the rest of the league. But the stat output should end up matching the era, so the guy with the highest power rating will have like 8 HR or something.

Ah, that's it!

Thanks.

Make sure your stats totals and modifiers are set properly for 1875 output.
