Setting up a historical sim

tomkmb · 01-25-2021, 02:31 PM

Hello!

So I’ve played OOTP for a couple of years casually but this year have really spent a lot of time in my current modern day sim.

However I’d like to go back and do something different from baseball history and after watching loads of docs recently I’ve decided I want to try and do a franchise with a team at some point in the early 90’s, I’m undecided on teams yet but suggestions are welcomed!

However my query is that I want it to basically just be setup like a modern day game, so like I’ve just bought OOTP 1993 edition, so all of the players who are currently in the league at that time can be who they were but I’m happy for drafted players to be randomised in potential (if that makes sense) otherwise I’ll just know who to draft each year etc.

I had a mess around earlier but was confused because of my players had ‘batting/pitching/fielding stats’ tabs on their profile but also a ‘real life stats’ tab as well, is this default on all historical sims?

I hope this makes sense but either way just any direction about how to get set up on a historical sim would be great, for all the video tutorials out there I couldn’t seem to find one on this.

Thanks!

Historical stats are listed in sims with real players unless you erase player history.

What would that do to players current and potentially generated abilities? Just randomise everything?

Erasing history doesn't affect ratings. It prevents real life performances that occurred before the game start date to county toward season and career records.
