1 year recalc.. Again in my experience. With 1 year recalc. you are much more likely to see a player’s up/down seasons but you are also more likely to see extreme outlier seasons for players. For example it would be easier for Maris to hit 65+ HRs using 1 year recalc.. Career stats may not be as reliable as using Garlon’s settings.
3 year recalc.. To me this is a compromise between 1 year and 5 year recalc.. It is still possible for Maris to hit 61 HRs. Not as likely as using 1 year recalc but more likely than using 5 year recalc.. Career stats maybe not as good as 5 year recalc but probably better than 1 year recalc..

Again, this is just my experience and someone else’s experience may be different. There are pros and cons to each IMO so pick the one you want and TEST IT OUT.
One of the true beauties of OOTP on display in this post. There isn't a game that comes anywhere close to giving you the number of options/settings for customizing up your historical/replay world.
