Starting in 1901 with present day stats

[drrok]

I want to start an historical league starting in 1901, but I want stats to be more modern. When I import league totals from 2016 I'm getting lots of guys batting well over .400 (some even .500) and the home run leader is only hitting 12.

Am I doing something wrong?

I've not experimented much with historical leagues, so thanks for any help.

Make sure after you do that to click modifyers button to also change the per cent values. Batting might go to .850 while home runs to 5.766 or something.
Then click off the box below that says something like modify totals every year, or on opening day it will just go back to 1901.
If you play as 2016 rube Waddell is going to have a lot of k's. I play a semi modified modern totals to keep a balanced.

Best of luck.
