"Complete" History ?

BeachBum · 07-14-2009, 08:56 PM

I may be weird but to me baseball history should start in 1950. Several reasons in my mind for this but be those as they may.

My question is when creating a new game there is an option to "Import Complete History" or not. Is there some way to only have history from 1950 forward imported?

I have tried starting the league in 1950 and simming forward until I want to play but have run into all kinds of problems due to injuries, retirements, financial issues, etc. All want is the various statistics from 1950 included in the individual player and team stats.

Any suggestions?

Delete all the pre 1950's stats from all the csv files in the stats directory.

Then delete the odb file.

Then create your game.

That should do the trick.

If I delete the ODB file does that mean I can not use the neutralized stats feature? I really like using this.

It does mean that

Since when does not using the .odb mean you can't use neutralized stats?

The batting2,fielding2 and pitching2 csv are the neutralized stats and the game does let you use neutralized stats using the .csv files.
