Here;s my take on historical replays as far as OOTP goes.Its a good game,good not great,if you want to play through an era of baseball.Playing one season with OOTP is just a waste of time,the engine just stinks for one year replays.But,if you change some of the default settings,sim one season with trades on very low and injuries off then take over a team you really can have some fun with the game .First off I recommend these settings:

DB-default
L/R splits-Off
Ballpark factors-Off
recalc-3 years(anything else it seems kills the results)
retire according to history-On
Player development-disabled(another must)
strategy-default
Financials-No free agency prior to 76,everything else default
Trades-very low
Injuries-low/very low with fatigue on high

By doing this,I've regularly gotten good results,not perfect mid you,but good believable results.Combine that with the fact that you can play through multiple seasons without season disks and I'm sold.
