My next dynasty league will be just an 8-team league, so I can become totally immersed in it. My current and continuing IPA dynasty league has 64 teams to cover, which is entirely too much to do.

My league will be based on a semi-pro league... the team roster will be 16 players... 3 starters and two relievers... and 11 position players... with a 20-man reserve... no minors.

42 game schedule with only weekend play... single game on Saturday and a doubleheader on Sunday.

Talent level is college.

I have run a 23-year test league and noted that the Team History was really fouled up. It didn't post the right players until the last year (1970).
Any idea on what could have caused this?

There must be minimum numbers set for the categories in the Team History.
Not enough of the players qualified.
Still I wonder why the first five years were totally missing on the position chart and the pitching staff chart.
Was the staff too small?

I haven't played a league using OOTP15 yet... I still use OOTP12... never converted to versions 13 and 14 because the archives wouldn't convert correctly... it always left a 5-year gap in them.

Is OOTP15 that unreliable? Will it work well with a small 16-player roster and a short 42-game schedule?
