The 2nd time I ran it was after completing the 2nd season. League wide BABIP proceeded to drop to .271..... a .050 point swing league wide. Complete insanity
In both scenarios I ran it manually on opening day as was suggested by users on here. My opinion is it completely over compensated both times that I ran it. In my first season on here league wide offense seemed a little low. I don't have the energy to look up the stats, but it just seemed a little low. Ran auto-calc for the first time ever after that season and BABIP jumped to .325 which shatters MLB records by a mile. Total over compensation. Ran it again after that season and it drops league wide BABIP to .271 which is like the lowest it's been in 100 years or something.
I'm not saying it doesnt work for some or for most people. At the same time though, the only 2 times I've ever used it, it gave me ridiculous results that seemed to be extreme over-compensations from the previous season.
Best thing I can say is if you've never used it before and have been happy with how your league plays out -------- you'd be foolish to mess with it.

Auto-Calc doesn't know anything about the previous season I don't think, so it's not compensating (or overcompensating) for anything.
When you ran Auto-Calc the first time, what BABIP did you tell it you wanted for the league? What about the second time?
