Recalc question

tigey75 · 03-02-2010, 08:34 PM

My question is basic, what does recalculation mean? And, what does it mean if you set it to 3 years or 5 years or whichever?

Thanks

Recalc means the ratings are recalculated based on the historical stats each season.

3 years: Uses the historical stats in the current year and the year before and after the current year.

5 years: Uses the historical stats in the current year and surrounding 2 years before and 2 years after the current year.

I do not believe so, but I have never done a fictional league. Since the players are fictional I don't think there is anything to recalc. There is a different option about adjusting league totals that may apply to a fictional league though, I'm not sure.

Recalc is basically an alternative to the player development model/process -- at least on a season by season basis. If you have recalc on, the recalc calculations determine what ratings each player will have in the coming season, based on how that player did in real life in that period. The one-year, three-year, five-year choices are just different ways of averaging out those historical stats. The longer the period, the less likely a player's ratings are to make large changes from year-to-year. However, his performance over the course of his career in your league should resemble what it was in real life (subject to injuries and the like). The player development model is pre-empted by recalc (except for during a season, but that's another matter).

In a fictional league, ratings can change only as a result of the player development model -- there are no real life stats to use for any sort of recalc.

Hope that helps.
