Information so people don't have to go hunting in the early posts.

3 year recalc not weighted TCR 100, Real Stats (after starting the save I learned some things that make me now prefer neutralized stats).
Rating scale 1-20, overall based on all players
I don't manage games but manager characteristics are set to my preferences.
Owner controls budget. He is set to generous with priority to win.
Visiting team gets 30% of the gate.
Default revenue sharing on.
Injuries set to OOTP Classic, fatigue to default.
Trading set to hard.
Full historical minor leagues. Career minor leaguers may make majors.
I control lineups and depth charts.
Psychology off.
25 man active roster. No expanded rosters.
Free agency, 10/5 rule, ability to refuse demotion, and Rule 5 enabled.
No amateur draft. Players start in their historic organizations.
Story lines off.
League strategy and finances evolve according to history.
No DH.

Goal is to use the Pirates 1960 World Series win and attendant financial success as a jump off point to become America's Team. I haven't defined success but I figure winning a lot, improving market size, and leading in attendance are good measures.

This is a new experience for me, having money to spend. Before I've always tried to win on the cheap as in Pirates Play Moneyball.

Wow, I hadn't checked for weeks. Oct 9 2024 its 79,561. THIS must be a great idea. My consistent detractors didn't show up en masse to argue against it. They didn't show up HERE either.
