I was inspired to give Stats Only a try after reading this thread. All my OOTP life, I've ALWAYS played MLB rosters and gotten bored as players became fictional.
I have spent about a week running test sims and setting up a 16 team fictional league with four levels of minors and HS / College feeders.
Finally, I was ready to go after getting the stats I wanted to see over the long haul of simming.
All I can say is THANK YOU. It used to be that I opened my organization and just simply sorted by Stars. I would base most of my decisions on that.
Last night, I went through my whole organization player by player and evaluated their histories, set it up on a spreadsheet and color coded them by how I rated them from a value standpoint. I've only watched my manager manage two games, but I've enjoyed those two games more than any I've ever played and I've had OOTP since back in V5.
Thanks guys, for all the activity in this forum and for showing me a new way to play.
