i wouldn't do it each year. it wouldn't cause any problems with inidividual results in a noticeable way, but it will cause extremely year-to-year flat results as far as league totals are concerned.

the auto-calc is even more accurate than in years past. it's better than 3 seasons for sure, now. you click that and BA will be +/- .002 or so at the most from what hits/ab totals caclculates to.

hitting it one time will not cause flat results - no worries there. it merely callibrates it based on current players in league to ~roughly hit the totals. talent ebbs and flows in ootp. depending on where you are at, you may see it go up, down or both after that point. either click again if oyu don't like something, or adjust them individually after this point for best results. (remember it's relative to the base from which you change -- e.g. sweed used "1" as a starting point... where as 10% increast from .800 is .880) if you increase HR 10% you will reduce BABIP a bit, so 1 adjustment usually requires a few more to maintain the status quo eslewhere.

transitioning from real players or initial fictional seed players is a reason to click occasionally. year-to-year isn't necessary, but ever ~2-3 years during heaviest transition years.. 3-5 at beginning and end of that period of time (~20 years for a full league turnover? give or take).

basically, those players are not the same as what will be created over time. so, the modifiers need to be adjusted as it transitions one way or another.
