OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - V.10 Suggestion: Player Averaging By Season Range

DaddyO · 06-06-2008, 03:19 PM

I have often wanted to distill teams from 3 to 5 year periods and play a season based on those periods. Say for example, the years 1965 through 1968. Take each team, construct a roster based on preponderance of games played at position over the period, and have the players ratings based on their average production during that period.

This way you even out up years and down years and get a true picture of each team's relative strength during the period. The Twins were great in '65, the Orioles in '66, the Red Sox in '67, the Tigers in '68. But which team would win the AL in an overall contest from the period?

You'd have to be able to make tweaks, because obviously some players would appear on the roster of multiple teams due to trades. You'd have to decide if you want to live with multiple versions of the same real-life player or have to parcel them out to one team or the other.

Anyway, it would be great if version 10 had the capability to list the player's year-by-year stats, put a check box next to each year so you could make a custom selection, then hit an "Average Player Production Over Selected Years" button that would normalize the stats and then average them. Player usage could be included in team roster construction so the guys with the most PT would be the starters, etc.

Thoughts?
