I know historical managers are hard to rate but how are they compared to say running a historically league without them.

Found another feature I love. This is great considering I can not get GIMP to load on my PC.

For those unfamiliar with this, TG is demonstrating the ink-dropper tool by which you can touch a portion of a team's logo, note the RGB readings, and reproduce that exact color for a uniform component.

I have an entire league like that. The league is on Endor from ROTJ. Metropolis Supermen, Gotham City Batmen, Springfield Isotopes, Atlantis Sharks, Cooperstown Quest/Giants, Chewbacca Bowcasters, Mudville Nine just to name a few. I will have a 2009 16 team QS available if you want it. Look for the Challenge thread it will be there in a few days.

really liking the Webcast screen. In past versions I did not.

While it holds several leagues that I have yet to convert to 14 is hating the other 3. If all 4 versions were The Beatles, 13 would be Ringo.

I have all the way back to 9 on my machine

I am curious about this, too. In a historical league, players' stats already reflect the real-life manager's tendencies, to a degree. (I'm thinking specifically of stealing bases, bunting, and quick/slow hook, but there are likely several others.)

A 1962 Maury Wills or a young Vince Coleman is already going to be rated to where he will attempt to steal a bunch of bases with default strategy settings. If Alston or Whitey are also rated as aggressive with stealing bases (don't know if they are, but that's assumption that works for this question), wouldn't that skew things to where these players would be attempting to steal even more than in real life?

I use Whitey ball for one fictional managers in my main league and they have a 10 speed guy. He stole 54 bases. He had 76 the season before in 25 fewer games played. If you override team settings that will affect Coleman not just the mgr strategy.
