I've always been a fan of recalc and typically did 3 year recalc. This time around in version 21 I have been playing around with setting Talent Randomness to 1 and just using the Talent Development Engine. I tried letting auto calc modifiers run and got ok results although I'd get more outlier stat leaders than I was comfortable with.

This last league, and I have been very happy with it, I set strategies for 1979 as well as the modifiers, I then went ahead and set everything to 1 that was sensible (If you start a 1979 league you will see the defaults and I try to keep them all right there). The only 3 modifiers I tweak from that point on are Hits, HRs, and Strikeouts. I don't generally need to tweak these much, if at all season to season.

If you want much more realistic results season to season just letting the game change the strategy automatically should do it (I like to make all the teams run 5 man rotations personally ).
