Rather than seeing individual performances I would find it better to look at your actual "League Totals". From your screenies your league's total batting averages look fine its the ERA, obviously, that is too high along with top players totally dominating with inflated BA, RBI etc. Where is the extra offense coming from? Of course extra HR but what else? Not enough double plays means more 3 run HR with those extra guys on base. Too many errors equals more baserunners. Etc. etc. etc.

Autocalc at end of spring training should bring all of these numbers in line with your "target numbers" in your league totals. I've never changed my LTMs from year to year as you are trying so not sure how well it all works but I would think you would have to do one of two things.

1. manually "auto-calc" your LTMs before each season
or
2. check the box to "automatically adjust league total modifiers after each season for accuracy" ( this is the one I've never done so while I can't see why it would cause any problems I can't say for sure. I would think it wouldn't be any different than doing it manually each ST)

If running multiple seasons in one setting without stopping is your way to play then #2 would have to be your choice. If you are stopping to review stats after each season you could do it either way.
Thanks for your reply, what I'm trying to do, and did in OOTP 13 successfuly, is have a league start in any year (e.g. 1968 or 1871) but always use the 2012 strategy settings so that every season ends up with total stats being similar to what would be expected of a "current day" league.

To do this in OOTP 13 I just set my financials to the year I wanted to start in (i.e 1968) and set my strategy settings to 2012 with all options set at 1.000 without ticking either of those "auto-calc" boxes.

I tried this in OOTP 14 and it didn't work (or I've set it wrong).

Is there a quick easy way for me to pull out the total stats from my league? Appreciate if you could let me know.
