Best ways to "review" fictional league history (to get to learn the teams/players)
New fictional leaguer here. Had a question to ask the OOTP community:
Basically, I started a new fictional league and simulated 5 years ahead w/o participating. Now I'm trying to go into my league history and learn about the last 5 years of my league. What are some pages/tabs/stats you look at that really help you get an idea of what the last 5 years of your league were like? Things like:
Any suggestions? |

I just go History > Index and read the subpages.

Start playing. Whenever a player (yours or opponent) does something notable, check his history. Each time you play a new team, look at their history.

I dont know the best way but I do enjoy it. Im in the year 2014 now (started 2000) in mine and I spent 2 hours yesterday just reading random history. From seeing what teams did well and when, what happened to rookie of the year winners (very interesting), how superstars progressed their ratings over the years. There was so much and I barely scratched the surface. It was really enjoyable to read up on this world that I had created.

Also, more generally speaking, I know this may seem like a dumb question given the "history" subpage in the game, but I'm looking for specific examples of what you look at that really tells the history of your league. There are LOTS of links within the history of the league. Is there a season summary page somewhere that kind of reviews each season all in the same place? |

I real-sim and save logs and boxes...
I look at the standings/pennant race the last week or so of each season, and look at logs and box scores of contending teams, who had the clutch hit or gave up the big inning.... that with award winners and league leaders. I actually keep a spiral notebook with a page for each year's standings, award winners, leaders and post-season results so I can thumb through it and look for repeated names/teams....

Paper Records....
LOL! I just turned 53... I started playing Strato-0-Matic baseball and PayDirt football and SOM basketball when I was growing up. Went through a lot of spiral notebooks or loose leaf paper and 3-ring binders...
When my historical league (right now I am in 1901) gets to around 1970 I will take over my team and start managing. When I manage I keep a scorebook of every game and an updated roster/depth chart... Love paper records....

It's like a dynasty report, except you don't publish it. |
