While this made the OOTP sims more reflective of players' actual historical performance in the long run, having players not debut when they actually did makes some of us obsessive-compulsive types cringe.
Mogul actually tracks each player's exact debut year and retirement year (and draft year where appropriate), and builds the historical databases accordingly. Also they have unique ratings for every player, not just stuff that loads in guy who went 12-for-21 one year and calls him a ".571 hitter" that year. It's really nice not having to worry about those "super players" sneaking in, and yet still getting all the guys from the DB that year.

Anyway this isn't a Mogul plug (although I do really like the game) but a hope that Markus can do the same in OOTP.
