When I start a historical league, players were given an entire year of service time, for any year in which they had appeared in the majors.
I created a test league that started in 2000. For example, after the 2000 season, Brian Giles was a free agent. Giles started his career by playing in 6 games for the Indians in 1995. So, he was charged an entire year of service time towards his 6 years in the majors.
I remember there was a similar issue a few editions of OOTP ago. I believe the issue was easily fixed by having a revised database issued, which calculated service time based on prorating how many of the players games that year were in the majors, compared to the minors. Is there any chance that a similar fix could be available for this year's edition?
