If you have them playing in their own environments they should put up numbers close to their Season/Career most of the time...so I doubt that is what you have set up.

I'm trying to figure out what you mean by modern baseball? When I play historical leagues I'll play with whatever the "engine" suggests. Carew -Baseball Boom, Boggs - Defensive Era for example. Sometimes they'll bat .300 or better..sometimes they don't. In real life...always.
Not intentionally trying to slam the statistical depth and awesomeness of the game, just sharing what my own personal experience is with trying to recreate a season (using the suggested "era" mode from the drop-down) and actually seeing results that reflect what actually happened with individual/team stats or standings. It just doesn't work that way. Seldom is it even close.
Some ppl want that. I personally would prefer it, but take what I can get.
I just saw a post today where a guy was pretty upset with what he thought complete failure by the AI to generate real-life numbers. Had seen several over the last couple years.
Just thought I would share my thoughts to those who might expect replication simulation. They aren't going to find it with OOTP. Can still be a fun game.
