Please read the README file. If you have already started a historical league, you can just replace the 3_NPBwMLBeq_Import folder and things should be fine. Please PM me if you have any questions.

murmur13,

Thanks a lot again for the wonderful roster set!

As I have played it around for few years from 1958~, I noticed few things that I think you maybe should know.

1) The endurance rates of the pitchers seem to be too low. Specially for the great pitchers like Inao, Kaneda, Murayama...., I personally think they deserve the endurance at least something like 11, 12, 13. (I agree that the overall ratings of the Japanese players should be lower than that of MLB players, but I also think that the endurance factor should not this defferent. After few years of simming, I checked out the Inao's pitching stats, to find out that he had like 4-2 record, with like 45GS, with NO CG in NPB!

Even now, some of the NPB ace starting pitchers are known as to have 140pitches/outing when the game is important, and I think at this era (50's~60's) it was more like there were 2~3 very strong starting pitchers doing almost everything (starting every 3 games, and get on the mound every other games to pitch as a closer) to carry the team.

I also noticed the position status of most of the pitchers are RP, but I doubt that does have anything to do with the great pitchers only throw like 3~4 innings/game and take showers even though they did not allow the opponents a run...

However, this is an amasing work of you, murmur13!
I am deeply impressed by what you created......I would never be able to do this myself.
So, please take above just as a feedback, definetely not a complaint!
