Auto-Financials Changes

fauteuil7 · 03-23-2007, 01:49 PM

I've been reading about the auto-expansion feature as well as an option to have the league financials update year by year. Does this include changing free agency rules? What I would like to do as soon as I get the program (I was waiting for the demo, but there is so much good sentiment this time around that I am sure enough that I will enjoy this version more than 2006) is start a league in 1900 but change the erasettings.txt (I think that's the name of the file) to flatten the stats - copy 1981 or 1969 or 1952 or some year to all years to equalize players over the history of baseball, hopefully to be able to accurately compare my replay Ty Cobb to my replay Tony Gwynn or whatever example you'd like to use. But if I start with one set of free agency settings in 1900 will it automatically update when my replay Curt Flood comes into the league?

Don't quote me on this, but I believe the only thing that the auto-finance changes is dollar amounts in the game. It assumes free agency is always on, I think.

Awesome, thank you. That seems the reasonable thing, but I figured that if they put in auto-expansion (thank you, thank you, thank you) they may have done that as well, which would be a cool feature as well, but not for what I'm trying to do.

Free agency is on to start the league. I've been doing a "test" historical to play around and I had to turn it off before I started.

Currently simming the 1966 season. Started at 1901.
