Fictional Database from a few years back
There was a fictional database that someone had made a few years ago, I was wondering if maybe someone has this and if this can be used in 12?
Thanks in advance |

Easiest thing to do is take Lahman (or whatever db you use) and use a randomization string on the first and last name fields, then fix the player id to match their new names. Voila. You have your very own fictional db.

thanks for the reply but I have no idea how to do that. If I do that particular thing you suggested it just names the players different names correct?

Well, you'd have to match them up in the pitching, hitting, and fielding files for sure. If you're not comfortable with that, then it'd be a job.
Why not just use the game to create fictional players. The end result is the same basically. Using my method, you'd get a clone of each real life player, but you'd not know who was who. |

One of the reasons I don't want to use the games creation of players is that most of the pitchers in my league that are created are 2 pitch pitchers. If I use a historical type roster database, it would (hopefully) weed that stupidity out.
