I am thinking of a doing a fairly large, complex sim project but do not want to waste a whole bunch of time if the results are going to be completely ridiculous.
Short answer,you will not be wasting your time.If you're looking to have players perform as close to their real life selves as possible,I recommend these settings which I've tinkered with to get just right over the last two years.Mind you,these aren't perfect,players will fluctuate from year to year,but on the whole I think you'll be happy.Here's the settings.

Recalc-3 years using real stats with the current year's stats doubled.
Retire according to history-on
Player development-off
For best results turn off the draft and have players import with the team's they broke in with.
Injuries-low
Fatigue-high
Trading-low

That's pretty much it.Everything else can pretty much be left at default.If you have any more questions feel free to ask.
