Random Debut Year DB now available

Random Debut Year DB v.1.0 (10-10-06) is available for download (see link in signature).

Based on Arod23/Garlon2006 Career Average DB

The debut year of all players has been randomly assigned to the years 1900-2006. The first year of importing should be 1901. However, 388 players have been randomly assigned to the year 1900, so in 1901, those players will have ratings based on their careers rather than their rookie year to give the league some stability. 1901 will also import an additional 90 rookies for a total of 478 players in the intial year in order to hold a substantial draft.

Between 80-120 real rookies will import each year up to year 2006. Talent ratings should be based on remaining career, while current ratings are based on players' stats in their debut years.

1928 Williams
