This is definitely something to test to be sure...

I put it in terms of ERA+ and OPS+ because those are already rate stats, and the whole 3-yr recalc double season and all that strikes me as more or less a way to convert counting stats across three years to rate stats so they can be applied to player projections in the game. If that's the case, then might as well talk in terms of rate stats that are already there.
Anyhoo—if the game does what Markus says and a league operator decides to change the "weaken" default from 50 to zero, then what would be the alternative except for the game to simply adjust everyone to league average, including Ricky Pickett, Jim Paciorek, and the rest of them? The only alternative would be that the game ignores Markus's directive to do so on its own and decides to make cup of coffee guys replacement players anyway. I wouldn't think the game is artificially intelligent enough to make that decision on its own.
Unless there's a completely other thing neither of us are considering?
