Modified Historical League - Which Game Mode?

opieandy1 · 08-14-2023, 08:09 PM

To remember players and improve my Immaculate Grid skills, I'm going to start a league in 1960 using actual MLB teams/players. Each MLB team will draft 4 players from other teams (with the caveat that the drafted player must have actually played for the drafting team during his actual MLB career -- either in the past or the future). In 1961, I'll do it all over again, ignoring the 1960 draft and doing a brand-new draft.

While generally these will all be starting players or highly used pitchers, I will still want OOTP to use the new rosters realistically (roughly in accordance with their actual G / PA if batters or GS / GR / IP).

What game setup mode (fictional, real, historical) should I use to accomplish this with OOTP then using players realistically?

To summarize, the key points are:

- Each actual MLB team will draft 4 players from other teams
- OOTP will determine actual player usage based on actual usage (e.g., PA or AB for batters and G / IP for pitchers).

Thanks!

Is OOTP able to determine actual player usage based on actual usage? I had no idea, wish I knew earlier how to find this.

Jerry, I have no idea, that's why I'm asking. I had an early OOTP version maybe 15-20 years ago. Sadly, the interface is as or more confusing now than it was back then.
