I am making this thread not to attack OOTP 23.
I am making it to show that the game engine of this version is vastly different from other versions. I am not saying GOOD or BAD, just it is very different.
The way to show that is with a real sample. That is by running the SAME LEAGUES in this version and older versions and compare the results.
I have done this with historical games (as they are unchanging) and with the same fictional leagues from older versions moved up.

What I have found, as will be laid out below, is that the older versions (I am using 21) and the new 23 version will give you the same yearly totals.
About the same number of home runs, hits, walks will happen in the two games.
What is changed is DISTRIBUTION. Two of the same leagues where 5000 home runs are hit, will have in 23 certain players hitting much more than previous. I have also noticed this with pitcher's strike outs and stolen bases.

So let us get to the fist post of what is being shown here.
