Hi, New user here, long time FPS enthusiast who recently got OOTP4... I am very impressed.... : )
....

I'm attempting to play a custom/historical league from 1901 to the present with OOTP4 based on the Lehman database, year by year. I'm sure I'm not the first to do this....

Any input from veteran OOTPers on the following aspects of dead-ball era play?

- What do you have the era settings on for deadball? Are the game's default's good enough or are there better tweaks that people have come up with? I played a 1902 season just to try it out and Buck Freeman ended up leading the league with 28 homers... seemed a little bit high...

- how do you get the salary system to mimic the era best, at least in terms of contract values...? I currently have all my cities with markets ranging from TINY to AVERAGE, hoping to keep attendance down. I Also might make the stadium capacities pretty low... what do you think, will this work?

I'm just looking for any pointers you might have as i start the first season.... so anything you have to offer is appreciated.
Thanks...
