I still disagree with the WAR theory. It’s harder to determine a 1 WAR player from a 4 WAR player. But I do get the idea that we’ll use ideas the AI won’t. But is that bad? Don’t use it if it’s too easy. I think it would be fun to play like old manager and focus on AVG and HR and SBs and play against managers who do the same. As is, every historical you play is played under today’s terms which kind of limits the enjoyment factor

Do you use recalc or player development on its own? I use a combination of both (with development set to default settings), and it's allowed me to have realistic careers for very good players, while allowing those without much RL playing time to have amazing careers or fall flat on their faces or any number of scenarios in between. I wouldn't play any other way, and I'm hooked on historical random debut leagues, and highly doubt I'll play any other type of the many types OOTP allows you to play.
