.txt question

[CD Longball]

If I create a .txt file to import historical players and put a year behind the ID (best year), will it import just that years stats? If I put no year behind ID what stats will it use.

I see the Draft Kings Sim tournament is using avg af three best seasons. How do you do that in OOTP?

You have multiple options when importing a player in-game. As far as I know you need the year specified when using a text file to import. Use the bbref number and the in-game importer if you want a range of years or any other option. You can leave the team name blank and the player(s) will be imported as free agents.

The year behind the player indicates which year you want his starts to start from or the middle year for a 3 yr average. So for one of my leagues i'll import Harold Baines from his rookie year and i use remaining years of career, entire career for fielding. Then I'll import AJ Pierzynski from 2005, his 1st year with the White Sox.
3 year averages work better in straight historical sims, to my knowledge. It will take the average of those 3 seasons and the player will perform close to those 3 yrs. i am not a fan of it because it never moves Smoltz to a CL, it keeps him as a SP but with bad Stamina for 2 years.

see if the attached helps you.
