I wasn't trying to dismiss your point, as I would like to see stats noted similar to the back of a baseball card as well. I think the most annoying result of the stat-tracking in OOTP is when a player is acquired mid-season, and is credited with breaking team records even though half of the player's statistics were accumulated with a different team.

We have been asking or requesting since version 2. I think eventually it will happen.

As of now, it just cuts off the previous year and overlaps it with the current one, I just ran a test to see if indeed there was a scroll, because I was pretty sure it wasnt.

Please try to be more polite, especially when you don't even have the right information, and think I'm an idiot.

..So unless a scroll option is added, IMO this would be a mistake to implement as it would cut off seasons later in a players career.

I certainly hope Markus wouldn't program it that way.

No offense meant, but there's no need to store empty records. First, you store the number of teams a guy played for in a field. Then, for each team he played for, you store the team id and the stats. Stop when you are done. Violla, no useless, empty records.
