What do you add to Players History?

Ts-Rock · 07-07-2014, 01:52 AM

we each play this wonderful game in so many different ways so I'm curious what do you add to a players "history" to give your dynasty more life? I know Marcus and the OOTP team does an amazing job with keeping track of these things, but there are some things that they miss or I just value more than say the larger community so I add them.

for example, I add:
- World Series MVP w/stats, I've always thought this was important and so I select who I think was the WS MVP for who ever wins and add it to their history w/stats from the series

- Who was selected to be All-Star Game starters, I like to know who started these games as the years add up in my dynasty

- Steaks, for example I had Julio Teheran pitch 42.1 scoreless innings, it was quite impressive so I added it to his history

- Triple Crown, I have a player contending for the Triple Crown, Its unlikely he will do it, but if he finishes in top 3 of each stat I will make a note in his history about it.

- Player of the Months, I go in and add what month and year it happened in at end of the already history entry, example (July 2014)

so those are just a few little things I add, does anyone else do this? If so, what do you add?

I don't add anything but I wish something was included in player history that was there in v 6.5 and before..

A players first MLB hit was recorded in his history before the "rewrite of 2006". IIRC it even included the pitcher he got the hit off of.

The only things I would add (if I kept track of thenm) would be player firsts. First game, first hit, first HR, first strikeout (pitchers), first win, etc.

I wish that customized awards added themselves to the player page. I have an MVP award that I had to add to Batter, Pitcher and Newcomer of the Years awards. The last three show up, but the MVP does not.

I wish OOTP had Silver Slugger Awards, or at least a default hitter award for each position that was tracked that we could edit for Silver Slugger
