Understandably, I know that the development team doesn't want to make any promises.

But what is the rough expectation for OOTP10's release? Preseason? Midseason? Late season?

I feel like those of us who want to build a league strictly on ratings from the new Lahman are going to be left in the cold.

But, for homebrewing a roster strictly for a 2008 replay league....would it work for me to do this?

1) Edit out all stat lines in the new Lahman 5.6 save for 2006-2008. (so that 3-year fielding stats are usable).
2) Change the 2006-2008 dates to 2005-2007 so the game can read them correctly.
3) Load into game to generate ratings.
4) Export the rosters and ratings from the game.
5) Edit the 2005-2007 dates back to 2006-2008 in the .csv's. Paste in the rest of the backlog of historical/career stats.
6) Import the rosters from these .csv's back into OOTP.

Questions:

Will the new Lahman fielding format in 5.6 screw the fielding ratings up?

Would reimporting the rosters under the revised 2006-2008 dates alter the ratings all over again (i.e. the game will not recognize any of the 2008 stats influence)?
