Thanks for being understanding. I have several of my own players that I will be working on adding for the 1955 season, so that will take up quite a bit of time as well, at least 2-3 hours.

I'll be naming my players after some current and past players, as well as tv show and movie characters that I have liked in the past. They will be star players so that they show up frequently in the news stories, and also that will improve their teams, so hopefully they make the postseason so that I can watch them in the playoffs.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Arthyr Gyolgi Freeman should hopefully be able to fit in well with the Celtics, seeing as their primary catcher didn't apparently hit well last season. I think. What actually happened for Glasco to help Gordon Clyde have much better numbers in 1954 than in 1953, besides the additional playing time? And what happened for Glasco regarding him in 1953, as well, to help him do so well in his first year? Just curious, that's all.

Think you could show his IPA-related scouting reports, and history, periodically, as well? I'd really enjoy seeing them, for sure, you know, if and when I can. I'm definitely going to watch his career and the careers of any player I propose to you that you add to your dynasties, obviously, as best as I can and all. Maybe Gordon Clyde can eventually wear #42 by the end of his career, but if not, then so be it. Thank you for your time and all, then, jg2977. CD out.

Do you currently have trading and/or free agency on in your version of the IPA, by the way? Or is the reserve clause currently on or not? I'm just curious, that's all, jg2977. CD out.

I do have trading and free agency on. Since there is free agency, I guess I don't have the reserve clause then.

CD, just so you know... I will put Gordon Freeman and Arthyr Freeman in my IPA... but I will not take the time to put all of the details you asked for in a recent PM... I will create him with average ratings with the potential to get better and develop into a good ballplayer... that it.

I will occasionally post Freemans' stats for you and keep you well-informed... I will give Gordon #42 and Arthyr #41.... but that's it.

I will give them a modest well-kempt beard... I don't have many beards at all in my IPA... I like my players to be clean-shaven like George Steinbrenner's Yankees... that is about the only thing I like about Steinbrenner's Yanks.

CD, try to keep your requests simple... you make things far too complex and complicated... I understand it is caused by the Asberger's... and I try to overlook your excesses and behavior and give you the benefit of the doubt.

Just be happy that EC and jg2977 have put the Freemans in our leagues... don't overdo your requests and details.

Just be happy Gordon Freeman and Akthyr Freeman will get a chance to play for the Hillsboro Blazers and the Glasco Celtics.

Okay, I'll try my best, as I always try to do. Those are merely intended to be basic starting values, which you can edit as you like, of course. There's not a real problem with the facial hair, but I honestly don't really mind facial hair too much. I suppose it's really a matter of personal preference, ultimately, for the people who play these games, though, of course.

Thank you for putting them both in your IPA, but you really don't have to have Gordon Clyde and Arthyr Gyolgi start their playing careers in the same year, if you don't want to. Perhaps Arthyr could start his career the year after Gordon in your IPA? Just a thought here, that's all. Thank you for your understanding and all, as well, for sure, EC.

I'll talk more with you soon, I hope, Lord willing and all, of course. I hope you have a good day and all, as well, Lord willing and all, for sure. CD out.

Are the Freemans brothers?

I will make them one year apart in age, but will put them in my IPA in 2071.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

As far as proposing another player for either of your IPAs, it may be a while yet, I think. I'd like Gordon Clyde's careers to be at least three to five seasons into them before the next proposed player who may be directly connected by blood to them comes in, or at least half that if not. In your case, that would probably be at least 2073 or 2074, if memory serves, and 1957 or 1958, in jg2977's case, for the former possibility, and maybe about that long as well for the latter possibility.

So it will likely be at least a little while yet before I suggest another possible player for your respective IPA versions. Just so you know, EC. Thank you for your time and all, then. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Brothers or cousins of some sort doesn't really matter, with how you portray them, in YOUR IPA, EC, I think. I was leaning towards the latter, but am not quite sure just how they might be connected to each other yet, to be honest. I'm hoping to eventually try and recover the progress made earlier with Freeman Dynasty 001, once I have enough of a chance to do so well enough somehow. I haven't done it just yet, however, for various reasons. If I do manage to recover the relevant game easily enough, somehow, I'll certainly let you know.

So far, I like how Gordon Clyde Freeman's career has apparently developed in jg2977's IPA, but I haven't seen all his statistics and all just yet, of course. Including his fielding statistics, for instance, to be sure. Hopefully, I'll get to see them later, but that's entirely up to jg2977, obviously.

Okay, I suppose that's enough to talk about here in this post, at least for now, if not always. Thank you for your time and all, as always, of course, EC. CD out.

That's what I did.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

jg2977 and EC, if you each want to portray them as brothers in your IPAs, you can. If you each want to portray them as cousins of some sort in them, then go right ahead. Your choices, of course. As for me, I haven't decided yet one way or the other for sure. Thank you both for including them in your IPAs, in any case. CD out.

I chose to have the DH in my IPA. When Gordon Clyde Freeman pitches, he doesn't bat in the game because of the DH. How do I replace the DH slot and let the pitcher hit? Even though he's a two-way player, he should definitely hit on days that he pitches, because as a talented batter he can further help himself and his team.

Also, if I choose to get rid of the DH in the future, is there a setting to improve all pitchers' batting ratings?

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Eliminate the DH, and you'll be able to have the pitchers all bat just like EC has done in his IPA, seeing as he doesn't typically use the DH in his games. Granted, many pitchers may not hit as well as the average position player, but position players don't typically pitch, or do as well as most pitchers, so you have to consider those facts as well.

Perhaps you can look for pitchers who hit better than the average players of their kind, and import them into your IPA, every so often. Or create them, depending on how you want to develop your IPA further in its history.

How did Arthyr Gyolgi do in his rookie season? And Gordon Clyde in 1955? I would like to see their respective career batting, pitching (where appropriate), and fielding statistics soon, if possible, for sure. I haven't tried recovering Freeman Dynasty 001 yet, but I'll probably be submitting a support ticket related to it soon, maybe even by the end of the weekend, I think. Hopefully the progress made before it crashed on me won't be lost, of course. I'll keep you posted on developments related to it, if you want me to, jg2977.

Will write more later, if and when I can and all, Lord willing and all, of course. That's all for this post, then, I think. CD out.

I guess I will eliminate the DH then, as I am going to have more 2-way players going forward. I can't update all pitchers' hitting ratings, seeing that I have 80 teams, but I will update some.

92 HRs for a player in a single season? Is that a seasonal record in your IPA or not, jg2977? What do the leaderboards currently look like for single-season and career-related records for your IPA, too? Just wondering, that's all.

EC, could you please show the relevant leaderboards for your IPA as well, both for single-season and career-related records soon, seeing as play has now completely ended, games-wise, for your 2070 season? I think we all would really appreciate seeing them, and see how long certain records have likely stood in your IPA, for sure. CD out.

I think my settings are auto-calculated to the year 2042 and the offensive numbers may be hyperinflated, so I may have to tone them back.

CD, you can follow the IPA on the Dynasty Forum thread.

I'll try to post the leaderboards and the other two items you mentioned.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Think you need to go to League History, then Season & Career Records to get to the leaderboards or see who is on top for the various statistical categories, guys. Then you can drill down further to get to each category's related leaderboard, of course, as you like, and screenshot whatever you wish to show. I believe that will also allow you to pull up the relevant players' profiles so you can screenshot them as well, if desired.

Hope this information helps you both out enough here. I'd really like seeing your IPAs' respective statistical leaders soon, if possible, and I don't think I'm the only one who does, in either case. Thank you for your time and all, you two, of course. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I do follow your IPA quite closely, as you know, EC. However, from my viewing of your relevant dynasty thread, I don't think you've posted screenshots showing the leaders in various statistical categories for either single-season or career-related records for quite some time, if ever. That's what I was referring to earlier, just so you know.

I believe that even after retirement, certain players' profiles can be accessed by clicking on them, when their names are seen on the leaderboards or listed on the main records page mentioned above. At least when things are not actually set to have retired players' records deleted and all, of course, for certain game settings and all, that is, anyway.

There's no doubt a lot of long-standing records for the IPA after seventy seasons of play, right? It would be rather interesting to many people, I think, if they were able to see how long certain records had been held, and if it might possibly be quite likely that certain records might possibly be broken in the very near future, for instance, if at all. For instance, the home run record, to name one such record in your IPA?

I don't know about others around these forums, of course. But I know, at least, that I most certainly would like to see who holds various IPA records of various kinds, just how long they may have held them, and if there might be some potential records broken in the near future, as well, if I can. Seventy years is quite a long time for a league to run, don't you think, EC?

Thank you for your time and friendship and all, as always, of course, and I really hope we can someday meet each other in actual reality. Granted, it may not be possible for that to happen for us both in this life, obviously. But I still really hope that you're one of the countless people that I somehow actually do meet in eternity, for sure, mon ami. Lord willing and all, you know, that is, EC. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

EC, you just posted some IPA-related awards stuff in your recreational league dynasty reporting thread, instead of your IPA dynasty reporting thread where it more appropriately belongs on these forums. I just thought you should know that well enough here before you somehow forget to repost it in the proper thread on these forums, and forget to remove it from the thread you accidentally posted that stuff in. CD out.
