For my last statement...you don't want an exact science...OOTP randomness will not allow it.

As for players...some players come in with 2 or 3 great years then fade for the next 3...their RATINGS should be high but their TALENT lower...OOTP may decide they will decline OR they may actually improve based on stats or random development.

Most players start out slow then kick it up for 5 or so years...your DB really does that well.

As for Recalc, it works quite well if you fix the issues of Range and Passed Balls. Because OOTP6 is so dependent on DIPS...when the fielding is fixed then it falls into place...plus using Soxman's Ballparks with the Park Factors also helps...I had a 6% variance for league totals each year...which is where I want it...I don't want it closer than that, or the randomness is gone and I might as well put Cobb, Mathewson et al in the HOF and not play out 100 years, because I know what will happen
