Another league modifer question

[joshuar9476]

I am simming a pseudo-historical game from 1876 to current times. I say pseudo because the players are real at the real year but the teams are fictional. Once I reach modern times I'll take control of a team and go from there. The reason I'm doing this is so that there is a constant baseline for HOFer, records, etc. The number of games played will always be the same as one example.

My question regards league modifiers. I get that I can set the modifer higher or lower. But will that number stay relatively the same in 1880 as 1980? If I set home runs to .665 will they automatically hit the same amount of home runs even though there were 200 players in 1880 and 2000 in 1980? I'd like to set it all to one number and never mess with it throughout history so that the playing field is even.

I haven't done a fictional historical league yet - but am planning to start one soon. I thought there was an option in league settings to choose modifiers for a particular year, so I was planning to just change that year as the league went along to follow the actual evolution of the game.

Of course since I haven't even created my league yet I have no idea if this is accurate....

That will work, I would just rather have the same modifer so that they're doing in 1800 what they are doing in 2016. That way there isn't 12 home runs being hit in 1900 and 50 in 2016 but an average of say 30 or 40 throughout my sim.

You could try auto-calcing a favourite statistical year over and over. I use 1984 for every one of my seasons and I've found it works rather well. You'll get some variance, but it'll stay pretty close to the output of the season you select.
