thanks a lot for the answers, and that all makes sense.

I have a league setup exactly like this -- but in a relegation/promotion setup where teams switch in between the 3 aforementioned leagues each season.

But after around 30 years the ground ball percentages listed for pitchers increases above 100% - after 50 years some of them are over 250%. Of course, this goofs up all of my historical stats. And I simply cannot figure out why.......If somebody had any ideas I would greatly appreciate it.

I saw all of the modifiers were different among the 3 leagues and thought it was possible that this was causing the ground ball issue. I figured players were having some sort of issue going into a different league total environments/league modifiers/fictional/historical, etc. -- and that OOTP9 was simply not compatible with a relegation/promotion type format with leagues that had different environments.

However, I'm also using the Spritze Database, so that's the other variable there is. It could be incompatible to this format. I'm just not sure what variable is causing this.

The obvious solution is that I sim out a vanilla version with the game's database in a relegation/promotion setup with the same settings and see what happens. Problem is that it takes forever to do 40 years in that format to see if it's working, and the second problem is that I'm just not into that era with that format without the additional player's from Spritze's database; it's fun but not quite the same.
