Accurate ratings for the mental/behavioral parts of the game are missing from OOTP but show up in baseball history in the form of the Black Sox, Denny McLain and a drove of historic players who had their career cut short through self-destructive behaviors like alcoholism.

Its important to keep the pressure on to make sure the game moves in a direction that will replicate real life baseball in as many ways as possible. That being said, OOTP2007 is by far the best OOTP yet.
I don't really know if I understand this sentiment. If you just want to see the reproduction of actual historical results there's a site you might want to check out: www.baseball-reference.com

They're all there.
