Minimum year for record books

ctorg · 06-22-2007, 11:28 AM

You know what would be a nice feature for the record book function of OOTP? The ability to set a minimum year for inclusion in the record book -- ideally, the ability to set separate minimums for single season and career record book inclusion.

I don't like seeing many of the records being held by guys from the 1800s who put up numbers that are basically unbreakable (59 wins, .440 batting average, etc.), although I do like seeing the pre-1901 numbers included in career numbers. It would be nice to be able to set the minimum so that we could view "modern" records or "past 20 year" records or whatever else.

I've been planning to set up something in Excel to use as a work-around, but it would be terrific if your suggestion would be implemented!

If I weren't lazy, I already would have set up an Access database that produces reports that are better than the ones in the game. But, unfortunately, I am not only lazy but strapped for time, so this is unlikely to happen anytime soon. That's why I want Markus to do it for me.
