SPEED. I have an i7-4770 processor (about two years old). I don't know how long it took me last year to sim 1901-2014, but I'd usually run the sim overnight. Last night, I ran a 1901-2015 sim (with pics, facegen, and baseball cards disabled). It took just 82 minutes to complete. That's phenomenal!

ACCURACY: I checked the historical accuracy report. It has never been more accurate. Just 2.2% of the results were in the red (and only 1.6% since 1925 -- that is, post-Dead Ball Era). Take out the red results from the SB categories (which, while still excellent, are the hardest to get precise) and the percentage drops to less than 1% since 1925. Again, I've NEVER seen better results in OOTP.

Major kudos to Markus and Matt (not to mention Spritze, for all of his contributions) for making OOTP historicals second to none!

That's insanely quick. I wish I could simulat 3-5 seasons in half that time. Unfortunately for me 1 season takes close to that.
