Historical League - What Season Is This?

cwolfson · 10-23-2022, 03:05 AM

Playing a random introduction historical league. I'm constantly struggling with identifying which of the player's "real seasons" matches the current season underway in the league.

Sometimes the statistical difference between real life seasons is so great that it's relatively easy to "match" based on how ratings changed in recalc, but other times it's not.

When looking at the player's "in game" age in years and days, is there a convention to match his age to the age in years shown in his real life stats? For example, on Baseball Reference, "Age" in a player's stats is his age as of midnight, June 30.

Hmmm.... doesn't OOTP change his birth year based on his age in the game? If so then use that to calculate his age in the game on June 30 and match that to his BBRef age.
