Doesn't that prove that what OOTP did change wise doesn't reflect actual MLB ticket pricing? The reason why that is an issue is that contract demands, arbitration estimates, etc. are all being based on the modern game.
The Commissioner of my league said it was okay for me to post this. Our league is set at $40 for that setting. I think that's helpful because it shows that the range OOTP is using is different than what the reality is in MLB.

OOTP doesn't have you track all of organizational expenses that must be payed in real life. Ticket Pricing is set up in the game to cover the expenses the game has you control.

It also shows that the way attendance is calculated is not tied into winning.

Attendance is not completely tied to winning. If it were, the situation for Tampa Bay would be much different.
There are many factors and the game tries to capture all of that with Fan Interest, Fan Loyalty, and Market Size.

Also of note, look at a team like Washington and compare to Cincinnati. Both have big markets, similar fan loyalty, and 100 fan interest. Washington has $50 per ticket, and Cincinnati at $49. Why is there such a difference in % full?

This is hard to say with just the information provided. Has Cincinnati been adjusting their ticket prices? Was that number different during the off-season period where Season Tickets are sold? How about Washington?
Also, it appears you are what, maybe a week into your season? That is a very small sample size. I think things like opponent quality, week days vs. weekends, weather, etc. can also affect attendance...stuff that generally evens out over a season but not over a week.
