I don't want them to be the exact same but within the same ballpark would be nice. Anybody who has played OOTP knows that a lot of the charm of its historical simming is seeing the gradual development of "eras" (e.g. deadball into growing power into the Golden Age into the pitcher's dominance, etc.). This also transitions into being able to set up fictional leagues that can replicate say the Dead Ball Era if you want or the peak HR Crazy era of 1997-2001.
I'd like to kind of recapture that feeling. If I'm playing a season from say 1979-1986 when scoring is really high and players like Wayne Gretzky were closing in on 180-200 points a season, it's far from the same feeling when players can't even crack 80-90 points by season's end. Same with playing out the "Dead Puck" Era of 1994-1999 with Goalies challenging the 2.00 GAA mark and 50 Goals being impressive.
So that means there is an issue somewhere, whether it be attributes or "league" settings or something. This isn't really meant to replicate the seasons down to the exact same but more to help the guys coding/testing the game to maybe see what kinks need to be worked out.
