That it to put development on- yet use recalc. Why do that you say?
A problem I have had at time with historical comes with players in the DB who have thier last season a great one- particularily a pitcher who ends his carrer at 25
he will have that last season as his ratings until he retires, which might be at 42 with 325 wins. the neutralized db's have stopped this for a few players but not all.
the other choice is to "retire players per history" but it is nice too to have players play a bit longer at times than real life. hence the way to get around it might be to have development on.
I am going to test player development at .200 (so players would develop very slow during the season) aging at .500 so a player will have some decline, but a good 37 or 38 year old player who had real stats that year wont get hurt too bad
what that will mean is some fluctuations during specific seasons, but any player with real stats will get recalced and be back to what he is supposed to be at.
I am going to auto sim out a history and see how it looked by the numbers, esp for players that tended to play way too long for my liking
will get back in a day or 2 with the results
