A little over three months now? Welp!
I've only really started to put the pedal to the metal on this one very recently. I'm pretty much down to controlling the amateur draft, and who gets into the HoF. Reluctantly let go of controlling the awards and who goes to the ASG, despite the fact that I'm not a big fan of how the AI does either. If I was going to make any progress though, I was going to have to sacrifice some things. Absolutely could not relinquish control of who gets drafted when, and bestowing the highest honour on those that warrant it.
For the draft, I use the Hall of Stats rankings, and create draft values based on a player's ranking among his close to 20,000 peers all-time. I just do them in reverse order of the ranking all the way down to 1 for poor ole Bill Bergen.
Currently, the Hall of Stats runs through 2019, so it lines up perfectly with OOTP21 in terms of historical stats. I hope the site's creator, Adam Darowski is OK, because he hasn't posted in almost two years, and hasn't updated the numbers through this past truncated season. It's a great site, and I encourage anyone (even the "WAR...What is it good for?" crowd) to check it out, and see how it matches up with their opinions on the quality of players' careers.
What follows is a short series of posts on leaders in various categories in the four seasons so far (1901-1904), as well as interesting goings on in the league. Hopefully I can push this thing forward, and get to the point where I have a HoF. My previous record was a 63 season league in OOTP16 (1901-1963), which featured 74 HoFers. Looking for more this time, and hopefully pulling back a bit on my OCD tendencies, will help me get there. If you have a category you'd like to see the leaders for, both in single season, and in career rankings, let me know and I'll post it. Anything else you want to see, just give a holler.
