Denny McLain won 31 games when the next best pitcher won 22. Rickey Henderson stole 130 bases when the next best base stealer stole 54.
If anything, in previous years we might've tended to suppress outlier seasons a little too much, so if they are organically happening a little more often in OOTP23, that's probably not an entirely bad thing.
Still the devil is in the details for this sort of thing and the big question is how much they do tend to happen. Sprague, if you have some tests where seasons like the above are happening more than occasionally, please do share the league files so we can take a closer look and see if in fact there's anything off or not.

I hope my post did not come off as overly negative. I think the game will get there in a few months but I have just noticed areas of the game that are real vast to other versions. Player development is another.
But again it might be working exactly as the new system is meant to be. So far I have seen nothing to explain what changed and why with the engine so I only have previous versions to compare with.
I can post over some screenshots of league leaderboards for various tests so you can see the discrepancies if that helps.
There is a lot of little things I like that have been added but I think the new game engine needs a bit more work before its running smooth
