Are 1st year historical stats still ... problematic?

In every version of the game to date since recalc. was introduced, because the recalc function doesn't kick in until after the first season, the stats for whatever season your history begins in are not reflective of that season's real life numbers. A particular problem in the deadball era.

What I do is run a test season, let recalc do its thing, then start over with those adjusted league totals. Not perfect, but better than the alternative. Has this been addressed?

Good question. That sure would be a nice fix.

I'm all for an automatic recalc once players are created. Both the initial import and when rookies are created. I think this would help out with the off the mark ratings for real rookies when they import (especially in my database) as they tend to be slightly better than their counterparts and therefore debut earlier than they actually did in real life.
