Which recalc do you prefer, 1 year, 3 year or 5 year? Do you use a combo of recalc and the development engine? Or, do you prefer to turn recalc off altogether and go strictly with the OOTP development engine?

I've always preferred 1 year recalc over 3 and 5. I like the rollercoaster ride. I want Roger Maris to have the chance to hit 61 home runs, not 44.34 or 34.40

I know it's all in my head, but too often when I use 3 or 5 year it seems like players have the same season back to back and sometimes even back to back to back etc. Now 1 year does have it's faults. A player can win a Cy Young award in your league one year and end up pitching at the bottom of his teams bullpen the next, due to real life injuries or set backs.

I often wonder if injuries are even needed when using recalc especially 1 year recalc. The make bad settings often cripple guys enough as is. But, I do enjoy the storyline injuries provide a league

I do leave the OOTP development engine on as well. I think the combo of recalc and the development engine is the way to go when you aren't having players miss seasons and retire according to history.
