I will be doing that, already messed up a couple of them and had nothing to go back to. But since I am still working in a trial phase it hasn't been too heartbreaking.
I'll put this out here for input and our guidance as I think I have finally come to figure out how I want to run this....
For starters on the stats I'm using, I've taken info from baseball reference for all seasons dating back to 1871 (When I am starting my new baseball world). I've added all the stats up to get a total for everything the game ask for in stats setting. I then divided the totals by the complete number of teams that played to get a team average in each stat category. So to get my stats, I simply multiply the stat by the current number of teams in my league. I leave the autocal multiplier on for some variances. I plan to leave the stats with the average for the duration of my game, trying to even the playing field across the eras to see how people stack up.
I'm starting in 1871, but using the APBL as my initial league (I don't care as much about skewed pitching wins and stuff in this league) I'll run this as the only league, expanding the roster counts as players allow to build up numbers in the game. in 1900, MLB will form, pulling players from ALPB and grow from there. (Going to attempt to use 5 man rotations from the start to keep pitching equal) And will expand with MiLB and a couple other independents as things allow.
Hopefully this will allow career leaderboards to be in reach for all MLB players and see how they stack up on fairly equal league settings across the board.
