What about historical fielding?
The fielding imports and ratings in historical leagues have been producing impossible results with every new release of OOTP. This never gets properly corrected. If you go on Baseball Reference they have Zone Rating, which is fielding runs saved above average, for each position since 1954. I had OOTP do a 1954-2019 replay using single season import and real lineups and transactions.
Since 1954 there have been 38 instances of a SS with a Zone Rating of 21 or more, with the most being Adam Everett with 40, nd there were only 3 other instances of a player above 30 in a season. In OOTP there were 100 instances of a SS above 38 in a season. Ripken had a 75 Zone Rating in 1984 in the game.
