Turn Back the Clock:1965

[Knight165]

So it begins!
1965.....the only thing good in Shea Stadium that year was the Beatles.
The Sound of Music was tops .....
The mini-skirt was introduced....
I was born(coincidence?)
The novel The Man With the Golden Gun was released....
The Twins in the World Series...but lose to the Dodgers in 7


This will be my most ambitious roster project to date......and I think will be the norm for all my future historical roster projects from here on in.
For one reason....stats and service time.
I am going to try and include stats and service time for most players(if not all)...so no more "1st Major League hit/K/HR" ....unless it is.
No more rookie status.....
That means you will get milestones as well.
There is no way(well....nearly no way and no way I'll go that far!) to get it perfect.
I haven't worried about stat lines since the HH days and the ability to edit players on the PC.

This is happening in 3 steps.
Step 1 is gathering the info. I will be done with that tonight...I have the service time(years...not games).....games played.....BA...HR....and other major stats that might be imortant(K's.....Wins....ERA etc for pitchers) for all the players.
Step 2 is editing a few CAP's(you'll get the right helmets this time! ) to import into a base set and sim....I will sim and save at 4 points each season 15 seasons(maybe more for certain players) in order to have players to export and import in with the proper numbers(for as close as I can get for at least certain items)
Step 3 is the actual editing....

I will keep you guys updated on progress and any suggestions please let me know.

In the meantime...I hope you're enjoying the 1975 set!

Excellent news & project!
Will Yogi be on the Mets or is this a 25 man roster?
He might not even make the cut if this is a 40 man roster, though.
Thanks & good luck!

All players who played in 1965 will be in.

Thanks!

I'm particularly looking forward to this one. I was probably 30%+ complete with '64 last year but with work and family obligations I just couldn't get it done. This is going to be great!

Hey bud, let me know if you want some face help, I may be able to chip in here or there when I can.

Wow....thank you.
I figured you, Ridin, Teeds and Co. would be burned out by now!
Will do if need be.
Thanks.

Hi Knight,

Just popping in to see how things are coming along...

Slow but sure.
I'm still setting up the base set with stats/service time for all players...so it's a lot of simming-exporting-importing.
I am about to begin a vacation...so I'll have a lot more time starting next week.
Once I get going...I'll really be going good.
