The handiness of the button was mitigated by how the game didn't really figure out BABIP all that well at all in 6.5. I mean, the game did pretty well with recalculating homeruns and Ks and walks and all that, but batting averages were generally way off because, well, DIPS was very new to the game and was broken.
Personally, I think the fact that the game does this stuff automatically is one of the best aspects of 2006. Yes, it was kinda nice to reticulate the ol' splines in the middle of the season, but the llamas didn't like that (10 points for the reference!) and besides you run into sample size issues. Now you sort of have to just let the first season be all off statistically speaking (though you can calculate by hand to get you within the ballpark, so to speak) and then afterwards the game does uncannily well even when you throw extra stuff into the mix like expansion and changing of rotation/bullpen size.
