Keeping stats the same every year

tklem321 · 04-29-2019, 09:25 PM

I'm hoping someone can help me out. In a fictional league, if I want the stats to reflect, say, 1980 every year, do I want the "automatically adjust league total modifier for accuracy" setting on or off?

And what about "auto-calc"? Should I never touch it?

Basically, I don't want the stats creeping up to 1981, 1982, etc. every year. Nor do I want the stats to change every year because the stats from the previous year were off significantly.

My experience has been once you've found the right League Totals you should not need to do anything going forward. This assumes a few things though. First, you don't change the league structure, including where FA's come from. your draft pool size needs to stay the same, your intl FAs should stay constant as far as number and countries as well as how they are introduced to your league (created vs from a foreign league). you also want to make sure league evolution is turned off. If those things are kept static, then there should be little reason to mess with league totals.
Getting to a set of league totals that you like though is the tricky thing, esp if you start with a new fictional league. the initial player pool always seems to result in some outlier numbers. This will even out after a few years, and why many of us will sim 10, 20, even 30 years to not only build up history but to stabilize the player pool.
