Question on Playing 2007 season from newbie

[michaelincolorado]

Long time Diamond Mind player and I just got PS with the latest updates. I was hooked when I saw how 2007 stats were included with 1.70b. But as I start to replay with career mode picking 2007 season I see the standings from 2006? I finally get to use the Rockies with a winning season and I am just wondering if I did indeed get the 2007 stats and will they be reflected in my players as I play the 2007 season? Also, will the later in the season minor league players that have meant so much to the Rockies down the stretch become available?

Thanks for any help - just trying to re-calibrate with what looks like a great baseball sim.

michael,

The stats will show for 2006, since the rosters are effective as of 2007. It wouldn't make sense to include the stats for 2007 if you're starting 2007. No time warps allowed! [:)]

As far as the minor leagues are concerned, it's very likely that some of the players called up from the minors in the (real) season will be in the minors when you start your (PureSim) season. However, there is no guarantee at all that they will perform in the game as they did in real life. They're just as likely to outperform their real life counterparts as they are to underperform them, or to match them closely.
