FWIW I calculate my fictional league QO to be $12,556,285 vs $13.3 IRL. Not bad agreement.
Edit
What I've never seen is a player taking the qualifying offer (or arbitration) in OOTP.

The money isn't what I'm really concerned about. The problem is that compensation doesn't get attached every time, when it should be attached to every single player who declines (assuming, obviously, that they spent the entire season on your team). Doesn't matter if the pitcher threw 250 IP of 9.6 ERA ball, or posted 1000 PAs of .000/.000/.000 with a -359 ZR at SS, if he did it all on your roster, and declines a qualifying offer, draft pick compensation is attached.
