It's not some coincidence that every PT league at every level reaches 2010 totals, it's a feature of the engine.
Also, MOV doesn't necessarily scale like POW does. The SEs that have high POW are more likely to appear before a bunch of high MOV pitchers do as you go up the levels, and in any case in all the levels on the way up there is no way that every single league would, by coincidence, all reach 2010 HR totals if there wasn't some normalization. And the second you turn the normalization off, power is out of the window. In tourneys, for example, there's no apparent connection to 2010 HR totals so the dinger numbers are all over the place. Any amount of analysis will tell you that league HR totals are roughly constant; this is not one of the harder aspects of PT to figure out. Not to mention we also know this is true from developer comments.

When you say MOV doesn't scale, that helps make the argument that at lower levels POW works and it stops at higher levels when MOV comes to town.
At any rate if I get the time I might try a single player league to see what happens. One comment by one Dev doesn't convince me.
By that theory if I make a league with all lower power hitters and stud high MOV pitchers, the hitters should all hit more homers than their ratings say they should right?
