[The Game]

1) The data on the players are from the Seamheads database but the numbers almost never match, names are misspelled and DOB and place of birth don't match. This work is just sloppy. These are now recognized as major leaguers, please treat them as such.
2) Add the Eastern Colored League (ECL) in the 1920s they played the NNL for the World series
3) Add some of the crazy parks they played in. Especially in the ECL I mean the Oval 180'LF 358'LC 292'CF 286'RC 180'RF. No one could hit a triple there except Cool Papa Bell and even then it was claimed he missed second to do it. Any park that center field is not the deepest part of the park by 66' has my admiration (the fact I can get a wind blown infield fly for a homer is where I want to bat. Makes the Baker Bowl look cavernous!)
PLEASE LET'S HONOR THESE MAJOR LEAGUERS BY GETTING IT RIGHT!

The BBref IDs work. So not sure if changing them from BBref to Seamheads is a great idea.


2. i agree but aren't several of those team in the OOTP version?


3. that would be on the 3D creators like Silvam.


OOTP has come a long way in a short period of time getting the NeL better. Prior to 23 i had to hand edit incoming NeL players to make sure that they play all the positions they did IRL. On my KC Monarchs team, they import very well except for Rube Foster. Rap Dixon has become on of my newest favorites because he can play 7 positions, including P.
