With all due respect Mr. Wolf what do you say that entire branch of baseball history should be excluded simply because we don't have enough data isn't right

What was it that was said by someone else upthread? A guess multiplied by a guess and divided by a guess is still a guess?[/QUOTE]
@ the wolf, Sir, I really do not understand what all the fuss is about, I understand your position on this matter I really do. But, if you think about it, The minute you start this game (ootp) you have already started your adventure into fantasy land, and isn't at the heart of all of this is fantasy baseball? That is what we are all here for to see our favorite players perform, to see what might of, what could of, what should of been. I do understand having things be as accurate as humanly possible I really do, I want that as well, But I also understand that once I start playing this game I have already altered history in the game. All of the stats and records will all be different, if I pass the 2016 season random players will be generated, they are not real but I will learn to love them just the same. And since it is all about fantasy I would love to see these leagues introduced into this game to make a much more enjoyable experience to those that want it in their baseball universe. I hope that these leagues are added, no they won't be perfect but it will enrich a lot of fantasy baseball here at ootp. |

So, we each play the game the way we want, with our own rules & players from different sources and universes.
All in the OOTP game framework, but many from totally different points of view and outcomes. No one is right. No one is wrong. And NONE of it is really real. It's a game. And some of us might like to play God maybe, and just see how good those Negro League players might have compared to the Major Leaguers. It's not heresy, really. maybe Bob Dylan said it best for/about me in the liner notes to The Times They Are A-Changin' album: "when will he open up his eyes" "who him? doncha know? he's a crazy man he never opens up his eyes" "but surely he'll miss the world go by" "nah! he lives in his own world"

You've made your point, made it over and over again in fact, but anything more on the subject is going to be considered trolling. |

Presumably that applies equally to all involved.

Hah! When using the BBref minor league data I found thousands of discrepancies/errors so don't hang your hat on that. We used them anyway.

(For SABR's part, it has said that the stats will likely never balance perfectly. They just get them to as few discrepancies as possible.) |

Still trying to wrap my head around a lot of this and my questions deal more with the historical minor leagues than the Negro League, but this is where it's being discussed, so her goes: From reading this thread, I get the idea that the Negro Leagues and or historical minors are best suited to those that play historical or fictorial (see what I did there) solely using the OOTP development engine. In otherwords, no recalc. I'm probably way wrong, but your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

Either way will work. Just depends on your play preference. Personally I use both together.

As long as there are stats upon which to base recalc (and it sounds like there will be in these cases), recalc will always work. It may not work as purely as some in this thread would like it to, but it will work.
