Well not tougher really but there are a fairly finite number of HR's for a season as a whole and Mr. Ruth just does not stick so far above the tide when it includes star Negro Leaguer Hitters and Pitchers as well.

If you want more HR's and such you can set the LeagueSettings/ StatsandAI/ league Strategy/ historical year to the Steroid Era and things might be different.

OOTP just lets the chips fall where they may. Bottom line is if the color line had not existed player records would have been very different. Mr. Ruth would have faced a better class of pitchers as a whole. The point of my database is "What if.....".

Oh yeah, in my personal game I usually have 24 to 32 teams in my league and adding the extra bad pitchers gets Mr. Ruth back to 600-700 HR's.
