I would recommend using 3 year recalc. Mainly due to the fact that you have the players going to different teams. Just my opinion, but I think 1 year recalc works best when using real transactions and players retire and miss seasons according to history. 3 year recalc will give you a much better flow from the end of one season on into the start of the next. I think you always have to keep in mind that the AI has no idea recalc is going to take place.

Remember also, if you want the game to run strictly on recalc you need to turn player development off.

This is my advice and just my opinion, so please take it as only that. OOTP is an incredible game and the historical replay aspect of the game has improved immensely through the years. But, keep in mind it is a career sim and for that reason, it may not always produce the most accurate individual season stats. If you are willing to be patient and look at players from a career standpoint, I think you will be very pleased by the results OOTP produces.

Oh and if you really want to have a blast. Do the same type of league you're planning, but turn recalc off and leave development on. Dial down talent change randomness a little. The "whatif" aspect of playing this way is a blast.
