So I finally figured out how to get this DB to load -- just add a lot more memory to my computer (and, of course, not load a complete history). Now I'm struggling to understand what I am getting from the DB.
The problem may be fundamental to my understanding of how OOTP works, so I'll ask the question this way:
I am trying to start a league in 1960, managing the Giants. I have a pitcher, Eddie Fisher, who had a mediocre year in 1960, though he did have a couple of good years later in the decade. However, he is rated (scouting off) as the best pitcher I have on the team, with superstar numbers. How does that happen? I have always assumed that the ratings were calculated from the underlying stats (I am still fairly new to this game), but now I think they must be hard coded in the DB. Is this Eddie Fisher problem an example of an error in the ratings coded into the DB?
