I don't use OOTP currently, but am looking seriously at OOTP9. Have owned OOTP2006 and 2007 but never could get into them like I have the Diamond Mind PC game. I have started projects to make my own rosters and teams for that game, but it's too tedious and time consuming. With the demise of further development for that game, my hope of being able to do it is pretty much vanished. Markus seems to have the motivation to develop innovative tools for this game.
Your five-year recalc suggestion is interesting, since simply assigning to players already rated to current rosters is the easy part. Can you explain how the recalc would work? Does it go five-years ahead, or does it go back? If this tool really accomplishes most of what I want, that's great, although my idea is to be able to custom tailor your years selection for each individual player, then hit a "generate player" button based on the selected years. Theoretically the years would then not even have to be contiguous. Say, for example, if a player got injured for a year or two during the 5-year span, then you could, if you wanted, just skip the injury years for that one player while using those years for most players.
Anyway, thanks for the interesting suggestion and I look forward to hearing back from you.
EDITED TO ADD: Just saw the answer to how recalc works on another thread, so it sounds like this setting accomplishes much of what I am looking for, just missing some of the flexibility. Sounds great, and another reason why I may find myself finally taking the OOTP plunge and really meaning it this time.
