Challenge I found. I recall that CW mentioned his setup was not fully complete. I looked into it a bit. Perhaps only half the ballparks are there, and the ones that do have rather odd park factors. There are no managers or coaches.

As for the players, the system used also has created some odd ratings. Warren Spahn for example is a 1 star pitcher, Walter Johnson won't strike out many guys, Mark Mcgwire is a good home run hitter but lots are better, Matty Alou comes in a top 20 batter .353 average, Ozzie Smith is a 17 def while Phil Rizzuto is a 20, the negro players and 19 th century seem a bit under-rated...ect

I think it is a great start. 2000 players or something is there, but does need some tweeking. So in July I am going to tackle this a bit. I will replace ballparks and give each team a real life manager.

Then begin to go through the players, cross reference the neutralized stats he used (which sometimes match the ratings other times don't) and make some adjustments and see what will come from it. I might lessen the number of players available just to make it more manageable for me. Will put in a few hours here and there over July and see what I come up with...

It was a fantastic effort by CW...but I think I will take over the reigns and see what I can do to update. If you have some suggestions let me know. And a suggestion of what to do with the current updated 16 and 17 files I now have of CW's quickstart.

Cheers

Sounds awesome.

Update for everyone.
Have begun to work on this, but doing a slightly different start. To go through all the players would just be too much.
So I am concentrating on about 400 top players in history- and using a combination of Clay Davenport's translations (which i really like) and my own. The result will be players rated as if they could come into the game like a 2016 quickstart or similar 24-32 team modern fictional league.
I am through star players to 1899, so a few more weeks.

When it is done I will release it as a template here in a new thread.
Cheers

Did you ever have a chance to do any work with this after the past summer.
