... so whatever the existing guys were rated at under the "old" rankings system, that's where they started. All the new guys come in at 200 (or I reset them if the numbers aren't right as has been discussed on another thread). I have done nothing to mess with the db.ini file or whatever the heck it's called. If you go back to the initial series of posts here in this thread you can see what the pps were like after the first year or so under the new rankings system, which was installed as part of patch 2.0.27 I think. As I recall at that point in time it was fairly unusual to see someone in the 1000 range, which is obviously not the case now. The uni in progress of course started with TB 1 (starting around 1880 or so) and whatever rating system was used then, updated by the initial TB 2 (I think around 1900 or so in my Uni) and then the patch which I think came in around 1906 or 1907 when I first started with this thread almost a year ago now.

Now, mh, I have looked at the guys in your Uni (you posted it here awhile back and I downloaded it to paste in new guys) which is much bigger than mine and noticed you have alot of guys rated "1" whom I would consider "stiffs" -- whether this drives the ratings down or not I don't know, but the likely explanation is either that or the fact that I have covered more territory time-wise to see these purported "ratings inflation" develop over a longer period of time (I am looking at around 35 years worth of boxing history since day 1 here) -- maybe it's a combination of the two factors, just don't know but I can only report what I have observed.
