I haven't been using the newest version of the set, but the stat output was off in the first version. I ran a test season, compared overall league totals with real-life 2007 totals, and made the following adjustments in Game Setup --> League Setup --> Strategy:
League Total Modifiers:
Hits: 1.02
Doubles: 1.06
Triples: 1
HRs: 1.1
BBs: 1
Ks: 0.93
BABIP: 0.296
My next season was almost dead on with real life totals.

There were a couple of problems in the first set with minor league affiliates- Portland (AA) was affiliated with San Diego, not Boston, and the minor league AI for San Diego seems to have promoted or demoted some of those Boston guys, so they're still in the SD system even after the affiliation is corrected. There was also a problem with the Cubs affiliates in the first version (don't know if this was fixed)- if I remember correctly, the Dayton Dragons were affiliated with the Cubs, not the Reds.
I did notice, in the first version of the set at least, one 2007 draftee- Ross Detwiler- but no others. There are also several of the 2006 (and 2007) international signees missing, guys like, if I remember correctly, Wilmer Font, Esmailyn Gonzalez, Angel Villalona, Francisco Pena, Jesus Montero, Moises Tejeda, Engel Beltre and Larry Suarez from 2006 (though Triunfel is in there), and Michael Almanzar, Kelvin DeLeon, Julio Teheran, Jhrmivy Dejesus and Gabriel Noriega from 2007. I've edited the first version of Cubby's set to include all the important international signs from 06 and 07, along with the first two rounds of the 07 draft, but I don't know if there's a way to integrate those players with the new version of the set- I haven't done much import/export stuff.
Finally, in the first set at least, finances were a bit out of whack- player average salaries have been boosted in Setup, but there isn't enough money around for teams to pay FAs what they request. So guys either end up sitting in the FA pool, or signing at the start of Spring Training for far less than they ask for. It's easy, actually, to pick up several superstars at the start of ST, because it seems on that day OOTP drastically reduces the amount of salary a Free Agent will settle for. The problem becomes more noticeable if you sim forward a year. Not sure if this has been fixed in the new set, but it might be worth testing, and, if needed, adjusting player average salaries downwards, or team budgets upwards, before getting deep into a league.
