View source for OOTP Baseball talk:Screens and Menus/League Menu/League Settings/Stats and AI

Some of the information in this section is redundant and could be removed without harm. For example, the meaning of "Typical Starting Rotation Size"	is evident and "The typical number of pitchers in a starting rotation in this league. Can be set to 3, 4, 5, or 6" adds nothing. Most of the information in the boxes, perhaps all, is unnecessary.

What would be helpful is amplification of what is not evident. For example, there is no need to enter a year under "Import Settings" if the year desired is shown in "Historical Year" above. "Allow two-way players" affects how computer managers use players. It has nothing to do with how a human manager uses his players. This should be explained.

There is no comment about using pre-calc modifiers rather than auto calc modifiers. This is a complicated issue and the ramifications are not necessarily evident.

Anyway, I'm posting here rather than editing the page because extensive changes are needed and this degree of change is best implemented through collaboration.

This is a wiki, the base part is pretty much a base manual, if you want to add extra stuff, that you think will help then you can delete all of this and put everything you think is needed here. Just the basic stuff is to be on the main pages not in detail stuff or stuff that you have figured out. That all belongs in this section.



Where would the detail stuff on this subject go?

Y"know, stuff we have figured out... that's what this document is about. There is no longer an official source of information. --- Brad K



Brad K ---  I propose removing everything on the page that describes functions where the in game menus make it obvious what the functions do. That means remove everything except the categories listed below.

IMPORT SETTING

Select Year


GENERAL AI ROSTER SETTINGS

Two Way Players


ACCURACY SETTINGS

Auto-Calc Of Modifiers

Pre-Calculated Modifiers


The three above need expanded explanation far beyond what is the in existing document which are mostly just paraphrases of the name of the section. Also an expanded explanation of the Control Game Engine function is needed. However I cannot do that as I have never used that feature. Twins, if you have used it perhaps you could write that section. If not then is there anyone here who can write it?

Some updates made :)
