That's the only thing I was confused about. So far, I'm liking it better.

At least that's the way I understand it from the description of this setting in the game. |

Been playing this game forever, and tried every which way to play, and every time I come back and start a new solo league, it's stats only. Star ratings, and showing the numbers for players just didn't keep me interested, but hey, that's just me.
Hey, to each his own, but my attention span is about that of my four year old grandson, so I used to get bored fast with ratings, stars, etc. But I will say that playing "stats only" has kept my attention through many seasons. And if you take your time, and track the players that you draft, your international signings, review and track those players in your feeder leagues that interest you, it is really fun to see how good your "gut" feeling was on a player. After four or five seasons, how is that player progressing. Are you ready to give up on him, and will that come back to bite you? And goes without saying that you always play fictional. At the same time, the other "challenging" way I've found to play the game, is to continuously year in and year out, have the lowest, or nearly the lowest payroll. Be the next Billy Beane, or be like the Astros. Do you have the patience to see your "frugal" ways pay off? And most of the time, I play seasons without making any trades at all, or maybe just one, and generally for some minor leaguers at the AA or AAA level. I really want to see how far my team can go this way. Just my two cents, and again, there are so many different ways to enjoy this game. I've really enjoyed reading this post. Great thing is, after all these years, I'm still learning different ways to play, and enjoy the game. |

Look at the screenshot in the manual link I posted. Second check box from the left bottom.

Stats only removes a lot of the wonky AI behavior. If a player doesn't produce, he is not valued, no matter what his ratings might be. Likewise, as long as an older player is still producing, he will still be valued.

I've seen people say that you should play fictional games with your feeder leagues. I don't like to play fictional, I like playing as the MLB, so do feeder leagues work well in an MLB QuickStart?

Yes. But the feeder would be all fictional players eventually unless you have players being drafted from a real life db

Are all of these questions really serious, or are you just trolling us?

If you're going to do a stats only MLB league, about the only way to make it work is to set up your league and feeders and quick sim ahead about ten years or so before you actually start playing it.

I trust what you are saying, but why do I have to sim that far ahead? |

I'm no stats-only expert, but i'd say it would be to remove most of your preconceptions regarding existing players (as they'll be retired, or 10 years further along the career curve than today), and to give you enough stats to work with for the majors, minors and feeder leagues.

A way to get around that is to use a MAL league - an MLB setup with fictional players.
