Historical Early Debut from Lahman or include Independent Database

mikecos23 · 06-26-2011, 09:28 AM

I'm not sure what could be done to include an "early debut" feature built off the standard Lahman database, but it doesn't seem like it would be an impossible feature to add. I'm an avid historical player, but refuse to use the pre-packaged Lahman import to play historical seasons - to me it is pretty pointless to have a continued dynasty if managing a minor league system is pointless, namely when you draft MLB ready guys from the Lahman every draft. What would be great is if there was an early debut option that could adjust the debuts from the Lahman to an average age or to when a player is 18 yrs old or so.

I guess the other option would be for the Gambo or Spritze databases to be included in the release...maybe Marcus could work something out with those guys for the hard work they put into their databases, which for historical players of the game are ESSENTIAL.

Otherwise having the game released every year and having to wait to start a historical season is pretty frustrating.

Just a suggestion as a long time OOTP historical player
