How to Get Accurate Imports?

PerfectMisnomer · 04-13-2007, 05:12 PM

I'm trying to import Lou Brock in 1962, so that he's at the beginning of his amazing career. The game, however, decides to make him a 2 star and cap him at a 2 star, probably because his statistics that year weren't that good. I have his potential based on his remaining years, so why is he not getting 4 or 5 star potential?

If you do a historical replay, as I understand it the recalc will make him good when he's supposed to be, and the import only seems to go three years out when figuring potential. Brock wasn't much his second year, either. So if you're using the recalc function, don't worry about it, because he'll be Lou Brock soon enough. If you're not, he may or may not develop along the lines he historically did.
