Yeah, I guess what I meant was more stable than 9 or 11 in terms of not as many outlier type of performances and smoother transitions between seasons and such. I have not tried historical on 14, but I am sure it is fine, I just don't need all the financials, international complex, etc. so why not stay with 12? I like thinking of 12 as "historical OOTP" and I play 11 as "fictional OOTP", so for me 14 is "present-day MLB OOTP". I like them all and I like to keep playing the older versions.
You have to be rigorous about the roster adjustments and transactions to keep the rosters within 25 players, which is easier after 1966. I play with a 30 man roster limit and sometimes I have teams with 26 or 27 active, but most of the time I can figure out who the actual 25 were. Then there were some teams, like the Reds, who only seemed to use 22 or 23 players, so there would be some rule 5 guy like Jimmie Schaffer who was on the active roster all season but only played in 4 or 5 games at the most. For me it is a lesson in baseball history so I like doing all the roster manipulation. I can understand why others may not be attracted to that dimension of the replay.
