Actually,I would say many more arguments have been about comparing players from different era's And the OOTP system is very good at supporting that. If you look at Pitchers from the Dead Ball era's ratings they pale in comparison to guys in the current era, and those are the ratings that produce the proper statistics for the era, what everyone needs to remember is that all these things work together to produce imo by far the best , most versatile Baseball Simulation on the planet and it's realistic statistics. And the bottom line is pretty simple, if the numbers aren't right statically speaking, it really doesn't matter what the ratings are.
With any playing time in ootp most people come to understand whatever ratings system they choose to use regularly, I personally use 1-20, originally I used 1-100 and all the arguments for a new, better, more realistic system are purely medicinal imo. The system isn't perfect, but it isn't broken either. And there are as many preferences as there are people who play OOTP, so no matter what happens there will be someone who wants it to be different based on their preference.
