No idea what I'm doing

This would explain why I can't jump on anybody's head and turn them into coins! I was wondering about that!

Okay, one last question (for now). Let's say, for example, that I want to import Harold Baines. If I select, say, 2001 Harold Baines, am I getting Harold Baines only as he performed in 2001 or Harold Baines as he performed over his career? It seems like I'm getting him only as he was in 2001. Any way to change that? Automatically, or by editing the database I suppose?

a few reasons
1. broke
2. i hate a game with what seems to me like massive issues
3. I dont feel like redoing the world_default.xml like i did for the cities/nations/school & weather on 11 for my Endor League. Which is the only reason i stopped playing High Heat. I do have 9 other leagues that will work on 12. iAt this point i will just buy 12 so I can transfer to 13 and deal with the .xml's at that point.

Umm, well no player will put up his exact #'s from any given yrs. Baines hit .131 in 2001. I have had Baines tank as early as 1998. and in 1 league I unretired him til he got his 3000 hits, took until 2004.
But you can set recalculation for a 3 yr span or a 5 yr span i keep it at default 3 yr span. Now I know the recalc is mostly for defense and pitcher stamina, not sure how it affects a players offense. When you import a player from a given yr, you have several choices of what to base his ratings on. I tend to choose career totals. but you cn choose peak seasons and 2? other options. Just depends on what you are trying to get out of that player.
I match a lot of real players up with my Endor players that i dont have career stats for anymore.
Example Donny Druzbik i match up with Carlton Fisk. and I set his with peak seasons. since both are HOF catchers. I also learned a new trick, which is to clone the original player if I dont start from his rookie yr so this way I wont have say 1970-74 stats when Druzbik's rookie yr is 2008.(Fisk's 71-74 MLB stats would show up which increases the players career stats)

I play a mix of fictional meets historical.
But if you want good Harold Baines don't import 2001 he wont be very good vs say 1982-1995 Baines. (btw Baines is my all time fav)

Ratings are based on stats from the last 3 yrs. Hence, if you imported 2001 Baines, his ratings would be based on his stats from 99-2001.

thanx for clarifying that for me, I always think that they 3 yr avg is for defense not offense.
