Gambo Db (before Major league)

[AESP_pres]

In the past I was always using the Lahman database to start a new historical simulation. I've finally decide to try the Gambo database a couple of days ago and I find it great since the players are with the teams at a younger age. But there are one thing that I don't like : all the player have fictive stats for their first few seasons.

Is there a way to delete that from the players stat after the league is created? I've tried the editor but it seems to work only for the rating, not the stats.

Sorry if this question was already ask, I've made a search and didn't find the answer.

I think that I've found my answer, but I will like a confirmation that it's the good way before I do it.

- create the Historical League,
- Export the stats at the game setup menu,
- erase the false stats in the 3 files created,
- Import the 3 changes files in the game.

Just to be sure an example :

Hank Aaron played his first major league season in 1954, so to have his real career stats in my league I've to delete those lines :

In actuality if you use the database with the setup excel program (or the old cut and paste method) then it wont use the "fake" stats though they will still show in the "real life stats" tab.

and if I don´t like them to show up.

Is this a method to fix that.

This is the same with Spritze neutralized DB. All realstats are in disorder of course, and it doesn´t look good in my book.
Great to get correct ratings BUT not visual.
