wOBA wRC+ WAR Wonky

I'm pretty sure this is a bug, but before I post it as such I thought I'd ask if this is already a known issue, if anyone else has seen this or if anyone knows what might be going on.

I noticed this with importing historical data in historical games, but it's possible that something is wrong here even in fictional or modern games. I don't know.

So the values for wOBA wRC+ and WAR are different depending on which year I import historical stats. These are calculated by the game I believe, not imported directly and the results seem to be different depending on what year I start in. And they don't seem to be accurate anyway when I compare to what I see on fanGraphs, for example (although I know that some of that can possibly be attributed to different methodologies - they seem to be *way* off).

Anyway here's a couple of screen shots: Billy Hamilton imported in 1902 (career WAR 91.0) and BIlly Hamilton imported in 1907 (career WAR 100.9) The wOBA and wRC+ totals are different too.

Any thoughts?
