So what causes these kinds of inaccuracies:
1984 Sim
Dave Kingman 51 HR (real life 35)
Ken Phelps 47 HR (real life 24)
Rich Gedman 42 HR (real life 24)
Wayne Gross 41 HR (real life 22)
Harold Baines 40 HR (real life 29)
Dave Collins 83 SB (real life 60)
Juan Beniquez .372 AVG (real life .336)
These were all leaders in the league. Obviously the home runs were the most glaring. Outside of the Collins and Beniquez anomalies the rest of the averages and stolen bases seem reasonable. My question is, though, why weren't all of these players closer to their real life stats when using a one year recalc and optimizing for single season replay? I was OK with a 5-10% fluctuation one way or the other but these were all very extreme...
