Hello Folks, I've got a quick question for those who have played the new version and imported players from the 1870's through 1890's. When I was last playing OOTP (two years ago w/OOTP 6, 5 and 4), there was a long existing problem where poor fielders would import with the appropriate bad fielding pcts. (like 0.750) in their primary position. However, their secondary positions would be elevated automagically to 0.930 (or even higher) across the board if they were low as well. Does this still happen? A bad fielder in these eras make a lot of errors - and a historically inaccurate 0.970 (or even 0.990 for shortstops) could be the effective MVP of the OOTP league regardless of their hitting because of the effect on their team if other teams had poor and historically accurate fielders at the positions!

So to phrase the question as succinctly as possible. Do bad fielders (like less than 0.900 fielding pct. in all their positions) import with accurate fielding percentages for all their positions - not just their primary position?

If they do, hoo-wee, I'll start playing again!

Thanks for ANY info you can give me.
