There's been a change in OOTP! Sort of.

I suppose any amount of progress is better than none. There's an addition to the page where modifiers are selected. The new part is underlined.





What is disappointing about this change is what is omitted. It states far less than what is already in the OOTP Wiki. It's also vague. Why hold back on in game documentation?

In the Accuracy Settings section HERE the Wiki states concerning auto-calc

"This will ensure the highest level of accuracy to the totals, but it will also hide outliers. For example, if the league has an influx of power hitters, the auto-calc may aggressively lower the HR modifier to ensure the league totals come out accurately."

This is correct except for the phrase "auto-calc may aggressively lower". "May" means "will".

In the same section it is stated "Auto-calc may change some league settings, in order to avoid having modifiers that deviate far from the defaults". What league settings are these? Why, League Strategy settings, of course!

Except it doesn't change League Strategy settings. It gets the same effect by changing the modifiers. And "will" not "may" applies. After the season if auto import of new years settings is enabled, then the strategy settings change.

"Accuracy" has a special and limited meaning in this section. It refers to league totals, not to individual players.

Including a summary of the information already in the Wiki in the game screens would be an improvement. A bigger improvement would be including all the suggestions I've made concerning additions to various in game screens.
