I don't have 24 yet (as I commented elsewhere I consider the early released to be for those who want to play the current season) but I hope someone who has 24 will test this.
OOTP wouldn't produce two ways of getting the same result. I believe as stated earlier that the pre calculated modifiers will allow the league to perform a bit better or worse than historical depending on its talent versus historical. However I expect that it does not allow the number of HRs that would be expected from a 30 players are Barry Bonds league. Just a guess.
If by chance a league ends up with better pitchers and poorer hitters than historical I would want it to produce fewer runs. According to what Matt has posted with auto calc that league would be aiming for historical runs even though the talent is different from historical.
I don't understand why someone would want a league to perform as historical when the talent is different. It also might affect the results of strategy
For example, I did a test on 23 where I set every team to never pitch around and to never IBB. It changed the walks by 1%, apparently because of LTM insisting on historical walks.
I understand many (most?) historical players judge OOTP on its ability to produce historical results. Auto calc gives that to them. But I consider wanting historical totals regardless of inputs (talent, strategy) is fine for those watching AI play itself but not the right thing for a GM trying to improve his team with different strategy or different players than played historically.
