I have absolutely convinced myself that the game does not create players correctly, particularly with the ratio of fielding ratings. I looked at the top career players by WAR in a league I simmed forward 50 years and compared it to real life MLB HOF. ~1.4% of players get in the hall of fame, so I found the top 1.4% in WAR for my league. The reason I'm comparing to WAR is because the HOF that the AI created for the league is even worse (absolutely no 2B/SS).

In real life, the HOF is split 69/31 Hitter/Pitcher and quite evenly by position - 7-10% at all position players. The top players in my OOTP league are also split right at 65/35 Hitter/Pitcher - pretty good. But by position is absolutely horrendous. I looked at the majority of innings played by position for the career which was a huge majority for almost all players.

C: 2%
1B: 17%
2B: 5%
3B: 9%
SS: 4%
LF: 14%
CF: 5%
RF: 10%

The IF/OF mix looks right on, but not enough players can play the skilled positions as I have been repeating now over and over and over. There are too many 1B/LF/DH types because the players are not created properly.
