very troubling.
Put me down as a beta tester for OOTP11. I just don't understand how I'm able to come across such blatant issues. I realize there are 1,000,000 different factors and settings. But this one is basic, and it doesn't work.
I know some of the beta testers, and you guys rock.

But put fictional players into a historical setting with recalc on so all of the real players play historically. Can you put fictional players into that setting with everything working properly? No, you can't.

Because all fictional outfielders are given severe drops towards their defense like clock work every season until they are nothing players with regards to defense......0's & 1's.
Simply put, fictional players cannot play within a historical league that has recalc on. It doesn't work.

Did anybody try to play with fictional players within a historical setting before this game was sold to me? Not a happy customer.

Paco Rodriguez 1918

Paco Rodriguez 1921

Portland Beavers 1921
Here are the 1921 Portland Beavers. They are about to be promoted into the historical league that has recalc on. Below are all their defensive ratings.
Thing we are looking at is the outfield defensive ratings in the lower right.
Lu Blue is their only 'real' outfielder. Lets see what happens after simming one season.

And one year later.........
The majority of their fictional outfielders have been released and replaced with real players......since the fictional players can no longer play defense.
Canseco, Rivera, Osario are the fictional outfielders they have held onto -- all with great gloves, reduced to nothing in one season.
When I turn recalc off, it doesn't happen.
