Historical League Question

sensucht69 · 01-03-2004, 04:14 PM

I've just started a historical league and I'm wondering if the game continues to use the Lahman database when generating new players. In other words, if I'm playing in 1913, will Babe Ruth be "called up" by the Red Sox in 1914 or will it be generic names only?

Thanks in advance

The game will ask for the path to the Lahman datbase just like when you set up the historical league.
It will also ask if you want it to draft players or assign them to the teams they played for their first year.

However the problem with the Lahman database is that you will have ruth coming in at 1914 as a pitcher. The game imports the player based on the position the player played that year.

I suggest that you use ankit's database if you want players playing closer to what they did in real life.

Great. Thanks!

By the way, where could I get that "ankit" database? Thanks again!
