OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Determining Rookie Ratings for starting year of historical simulations

Apologies in advance if this has been covered elsewhere -- I am currently running an historical simulation of the 1936 major league season and was wondering how OOTP 10 determines player ratings for 1936 rookies. Joe DiMaggio, one of the rookies that year, not surprisingly has glowing scouting reports and good ratings. Other rookies, like Brooklyn's Buddy Hassett, have scouting reports and ratings that are more earthbound. It did not look like the game showed minor league stats for the rookies, so I was wondering whether the ratings are based on looking back on a player's real life career performance and especially his real life rookie year -- or something else.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
