[QUOTE=Brad K;5164027]From OOTP 24 all the way back to at least OOTP 11 there were two presets for historical games. One of them was with recalc on and development on. You may not understand why people would want to play this way but for at least 14 years OOTP developers did.
Recalc does not wipe out ratings at learned positions. And that is not what Matt's post is about as can be seen by reading
the whole thread.
As far as people might want to play with both recalc and development on, how about so players careers are in the vicinity of reality but so that players like Thurman Munson, Sandy Koufax, and Ken Hubbs can be productive in natural length careers.[/QUOTE]
Add to this the fact that when playing random debut, the combo of recalc and development works great when it comes to current day players such as Judge, Soto, Acuna etc. Having development on with recalc lets these players finish out their careers in a realistic fashion.
