ACCURACY of the OOTP game engine... check the numbers...
Only my 3rd post... I love replaying the older seasons. I play as the commissioner and manage the Phils and Yankees... I have these numbers for my just completed 1962 season... Transactions and actual lineups used. About the only adjustment made (prior replays produced CG's in the 900 plus range) was limiting starting pitchers in both leagues to a 140 max per game pitch count.

Having played all the sim games such as Action, Replay, Strat-O-Matic, etc..., I'm very, very impressed w/ OOTP's game engine for historical replays. Players like Bobby Richardson (25 k's in 692 AB's for real life1962) have produced very believable (20 k's in 700 AB's for OOTP replay) replay numbers. BTW... this is NOT an exception, but the rule.
The fun factor in 3d mode has been an absolute blast. The real life out of town scoreboard really keeps you (if this is your thing, LOL) engaged and on top of all your league action.
