Slightly better even...And it just goes to show how much of a popularity contest All-Star games and other awards are: IRL: ROY (1978), 5 ASG, 3 GG, 4 SS, 1 championship ring. My World: 14 ASG, 1 GG, 10 SS, 4 championship rings, 1 ALCS MVP, 1 World Series MVP. I still say the RL guy deserves to go in regardless of the lack of popularity contests won during his career. He was fantastic.

Action, when you get a chance, can you post your save leaders? Do you have a lot of guys that lock into the closer role for several years, or are you seeing guys close a couple years and then settle into other relief roles? Just curious?

Here they are. I would guess they move around a bit in their roles depending on who their teammates are. I've seen some uber-bullpens in this game over the years. Buck J Freeman got 255 Saves and then became a position player and won the hitting triple crown in 1948, which is one of the reasons I fiercely check my incoming draftees and try to get rid of two way players that weren't really two way players (Freeman pitched a little bit in two different seasons in his RL 11 year career, but wound up pitching for eight seasons in my game and then moved to become a position player in 1947 - he wasn't really a pitching stud IRL [more late 19th century/early 20th century slugger], but he sure was in my game), and replace them with their Spritze counterparts (if they're any better in this regard - one of the bugaboos of Neutralized Stats as we've discussed before):

Thank you
The problem was with an unchecked box "import historical rookies". 1905 draft looks to be back in order, again thank you. I started this league to test both it and my skills (which are lacking but improving) and have had a great time with the league. Was first thinking that I wanted to see what happens when minor leagues come around in 1920 while waiting for updates and the public release. But now I have had another idea, start again in 1901 but use the Spritze database after running my present league for awhile longer to pickup on some other pitfalls (mostly of my making).
Have either of you tried anything like this in the past? I am using neutralize stats but advancing year by year for the modifiers, financial, and salaries. I just read that you have to reinstall the Spritze database after every update which I didn't know; any advice or suggestions on this league? |

For my now 52 year old random debut league, I have used Neutralized Stats, and tied the LTMs and Strategy Settings to 1984. With financials, I advance year by year as they happened (though I find I have to do it manually on the first day of the offseason for some reason), and I allow MLB to expand (and teams to move) as it did IRL. I have my league always play a 162 game schedule with a custom made schedule that seems to change every year, which is pretty cool. You don't have to re-install Spritze's database every time if you extract the folder into the "stats" folder inside your OOTP Baseball 17 (or *fingers crossed*) eventually your OOTP Baseball 18 folder when the new one comes out. What happens when a new patch comes out is that every file in the stats folder gets overwritten, but if you've got your SpritzeHSforOOTP18 (when it arrives) folder inside the stats folder, nothing inside it gets touched. Then, if you want to use it as your default database, make sure you direct the game to it in your "Database Path" on the Game Settings > League Settings > Historical > Historical Rookies Settings page. Once Spritze gets that amazing database out, you'll be able to set it up as your default database whereas right now, you have to import Negro Leaguers, minor leaguers, NPBers, KBOers etc etc etc from the minor league database, which is a royal PITA for those that want to batch import multiple players. In my OOTP16 game (the 52 year old one), I've imported 2 non-MLB players from the Spritze db that goes with OOTP16 into every draft, so I don't have to deal with batch import issues because I'm not really batch importing. I can appreciate the frustration of those who bought OOTP18 expecting to be able to play with players from the minor league database in their random debut or customized historical games, only to find out that you have to import those players from the minor league database though. I think we'll get it sorted out reasonably soon enough though. My drafts are only five rounds long, so it takes my draft pool from 80 (16 teams * 5 round draft) to 82 players, and I don't need any more players than that every year to keep the league churning along.

I echo this heartily. This is a discussion thread that talks about the niche area of OOTP (which in itself is a niche game) that is random debut historicals. There are not many of us around, but it's an awesome way to play this awesome game (at least I think so).

From what I understand the current Spritze database will work with 18, I have the beta version. I was thinking after a little more work with my current sim I will start afresh with the Spritze database that will give me at least 4000 Negro League players plus Asian players. Start again in 1901 and away we go for 125+ years before I run into fictional players. This is the first time I am just observing and not involved as a GM which I didn't think I would enjoy, but surprise, surprise I really like this mode in a league. Hopefully I can make this work and stay with it....

Wow! Not only do we maybe have a new random debut guy in JaBurns, but also a watcher as well. I don't manage or gm either and I know AJ is an observer as well. Cool |

What I like about playing as an observer is that you can chew up the years reasonably fast when you're not fretting over the minutiae of running your own team. Of course, I fret over all of the manual All-Star selections, manual end of season awards, HoF voting, who comes in through the draft etc etc etc, but it's nowhere near as slow as running my own team. |

What a disappointment Fry Pan has turned out to be. Hurt to start 87 as well. Ugh!
