I've enjoyed this thread and just thought I'd drop in for a word or two or three...
I'd like to state that the accuracy that beta testers had been applauding had most everything to do with long term sims. I personally have, and continue to be amazed at how long term sims produce very near to life stat outputs for hall of famers we all all expect them from. Of course real life injuries, playing time, manager decision making, trades, lineup placements, environment(ballparks, game situations, etc.) cannot be replicated and thus this leaves all those variables that can wreak havoc on "accuracy". Now keeping in mind that all these variables are part of the equation I still got the following stat output for some of the players you mentioned...

The above was just a regular Lahman import of the 1982 season and simmed through 1996, thus I only included players in the chart above that would have played more than half, or all of their careers in OOTP. I don't see any stat above worth complaining about.
