Strange question but does the game take any form of the league totals into player creation?

I ask because players now have a different mindset and are developed differently than players even in the 90's, let alone the 70's and 80's. I believe that's borne out in the league averages.

I know there's settings for player creation, but if the league totals have some kind of influence, I could let it shift organically (more/less evolution settings and not me having to come up with some kind of system) and not 100% randomly (my league just so happens to keep producing X type of player which is different than the usual 2019 MLB player).

I was getting excited in an earlier version of the game where my oldest fictional league in 2029-2033 went on this binge of Gap + Speed + Av. K hitters. They were everywhere, shaking up the game, the leaderboards, it was pretty exciting to have to re-evalute players to keep up.

I was wondering if that was "5 years of just randomness that somehow persisted" or if there was something else happening...and if that something else was in the league totals changing in that league.
