In the last few times I tried to set up a 2001 season, using 55 & 60 man rosters with early draft entry ON, all of the pitcher stuff ratings end up being 50. This is an obvious bug, and it needs to be fixed. This makes the modern era unplayable. Please address this issue, Shaun!  |

Glenn,
Does that only happen with 55- and 60-player rosters?
I ask because this afternoon I started a 2002 association with real MLB players on their appropriate teams and using 40-player rosters. Starting pitchers have STUFF ratings of anywhere from 97 (Pedro Martinez) to 39 (Jaret Wright).

Well, I enjoy using larger rosters, so I'll try a 50-man roster and see what happens. Yep, it happened again. So, it must be in using early draft entry. I guess I'll try using 40 and turn early entry OFF. I suppose the game has a limit on the total number of available real players which affects ratings for a given modern-era season. I use the 1-100 scale and age-based ratings. This is why I usually stick to the 1940s.

Yes, please let me know how it came out. I typically do 1-100 rating as well, no early starts and age-based ratings, too. I tried an association in the early 20s, but I just didn't get a feel for it. Maybe I'll give something in the 40s a shot.
I've thought about starting an association in that period before, spawned by all of your colorful, engrossing commentary from that age. Tell me, for someone such as myself with little-to-no experience with baseball lore from the pre-80s, what year in the 40s would be a good starting point? Also consider that I'm a fan of picking last-place teams for the season in question, then getting them to 1st within a 3-year period. With that in mind, what team would you suggest? As there are no Marlins to command, I'm open to running any team (except the Yankees).

I have also encountered that before and I use the 60 man roster and early entry, 1-100 scale. It is not the roster size or early entry. It is somewhere else, maybe ratings change in season or either the strict seasonal or seasonal or a combination thereof. I only have the one Rngers team going and I bounce between that one with the annual drafts and playing just one season whether it is one team or all the teams switching ownership to play the next game. Thatis a slow progress though, but doing that in 2011 season, every team has played around 10 games, a couple may be at 9 or 11 depending on the schedule. There are a couple of Ps going lights out that you would expect and a few that are doing the same that you would not expect with their low ratings. My low rated SPs get killed but opposing ones kill me. The biggest player right now is Curtis Granderson, 10 games and 9 HRs. I set injuries to 450 for both Ps and players because I want teams to have to use the lower rated players and pitchers out of necessity. So far, I get quite few with small stuff for a coupleof days, but anybody with minimum 10 automatically goes to the DL. House rule. Lots of fun.

I like starting in 1946, the year in which most of the players return from WWII. Frozen Stiffer, you could take over the Indians, the Braves or the Phillies, all of which are on the rise. Heck, the Giants finished last in the NL that year, and the Athletics were the bottom team in the AL. Within the next 5 years there is a tremendous amount of hall of fame talent becoming available, starting with Jackie Robinson and including Warren Spahn, Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Roy Campanella and Duke Snider.
