historical storyline query

Fibonacci · 03-25-2015, 02:24 AM

I wondering if storylines were implemented any better in this OOTP version than in last year's? I remember 2 stories in 1901, (in OOTP15); A player signed a television contract, to make some ads to increase attendance; and another in which a player wrecked his $500K Mercedes,(Mercedes was founded in 1926, Ford in 1903, and no ball player had that kind of money.

There has been a lot of work on storylines, including work to make sure that storylines are historically appropriate. Please post any instance where you find one of those anachronisms.

I just gave 2 examples from last year's iteration. I'm looking for people that have played this year's version through the early years without experiencing this kind of problem.

Found one earlier today, but deleted it before reading this.
