The real stats data base does not work as described in the manual. However you access it, historical replay, random debut, etc, it doesn't work as described in the manual (unless there 's a change not documented in the release notes).
One discrepancy is easy to check. Import Roger Maris 1961 rating on single year and see how many HRs the edit page says he'll hit with the ratings he has. Import Mickey Mantle the same way. If Mantle shows more HRs than Maris then the database is still adjusted to prevent the game from producing real life performances the devs consider to be outliers.
Meaning "Real Stats" still aren't real stats. They're just made with real stats. Like Cheeze Whiz is made with real cheese. Should be named Statz Whiz!!!
