Right now I've got them set to low, and it seems pretty good overall, it just seems to effect the guys I'm following more than others. Just looking back through some players, Mule Suttles missed very little time with injury during his career, and it looks like that's the case with most of the top guys. Looking at one of the pitchers, Christy Mathewson won 416 games in his career, missing just 2 days with injuries over 22 years. I do think adding teams would definitely help, but see below..

Anyway, I love this thread.  I actually hope you don't tweak things to help the historical HR kings, just because this has gone so far off the rails that I'm curious to see who will be the first of the historical 400 club to make it in this game.  |
The yearly totals are pretty close to what they should be, so I do think you are right. The number of players who hit 400 are close though, which is weird because I think things are spread out more.
Thanks.
While a little disappointing it's a little fascinating to see how long this continues. But I do agree about not tweaking things yet. I feel like it's not fair to those who've gone before to change things midstream. I may make try to fix things later, but I'll definitely finish one time through first to see how things end up.
