It could be I'm the only one who thinks this not being mentioned in the release notes, the first mention being by you in a thread about another subject in one of the least read forums on the board, your avoidance of questions, and the devs ignoring the issue including a post in the bugs forum, is an indication we're gotten incomplete/incorrect information. Maybe I'm the only one. I guess the powers that be are willing to take that chance.
And another thing? Why do people think adjusting a player who doesn't have 1000 ABs in five years is a good idea? A player with 200 ABs doesn't get adjusted on one year ratings!

The main reason we haven't listed it is that I'm not actually sure it's a change from previous years. It's possible that many years ago it may have worked that way, but at least in OOTP24, I think it works similarly to how it does now (except that we use different levels to adjust to).
Like if you take OOTP 24, start up a new historical game in 1953 with a limit of 400 AB for both adjust and weaken with 3 year recalc, Ted Williams still imports as a 5 star player. But he very clearly has less than 400 AB in 1953, and less than 1200 in the 1952-1954 range.
As for what level people want the adjust to be at, that's obviously still up for debate. Too high of a level and you can wipe out a lot of legit player performances (1000 AB even in a 3 year sample is a pretty solid sample size). But too low and that can have an impact too on the distribution of plays.
