Like Judge in 1920 would play until he was 150 years old. However, since the adjustment of how players retire, you technically no longer have to run recalc+Dev engine on random Debut. Heck, I would just run Dev Engine.
Just some clarification on Random Debut. With OOTP 25 RAH (retire according to history) is an option and is on by default.
Recalc-on, Development-off, RAH-on. Players that played in 2023 IRL will play past their IRL age and retire around age 40-43. The problem is their ratings will basically rinse and repeat until they retire. (I have not tested this in the past 4-5 months.)
Recalc-on, Development-ON, RAH-on. Players that played in 2023 will play past IRL age but development seems to kick in for them so their ratings will decline as they age and will retire mid to late 30s.

Recalc-on, Development-OFF, RAH-off. I have not tested this but I assume players will keep their ratings from their last IRL and players like Judge or maybe Bonds might play forever.
Recalc-off, Development-ON, RAH-on or off. With just development on, all players start taking a hit around age 32-33. Players like Bonds, Aaron, Mays will also be affected and my be average by age 35 or retired. This in turn will artificially inflate the stats of players in their 20s.

To each their own but I prefer Recalc-on, Development-on, RAH-on. The only problem I have (and it’s minor) is that older players (Aaron,Mays, etc.) will tend to have their ratings go down during the season due to development but after the season recalc kicks in and their ratings go back up if appropriate. Basically a minor yo-yo affect on their ratings.
