What's the frequency of the recalc and over what time period is the recalc done? One year as a basis of the skills is going to amp up the NeL stars but a wider time frame, say three or five year will pull them away from one-year out-of-whack seasons. I've run some career sims over the time period and when retired according to history, the actual numbers come out pretty well.

There's a couple of next steps, the first of which is scrubbing the NeL stats themselves that form the skill basis of the NeL players. Seamheads' database has grown by leaps and bounds even in just the past few years. Some of the new data when it comes in will help smooth it out and moderate the results. It's a first step though one, like you say, overdue for attention and more eyes, such as yours, running both long-term sims and play-by-play under a variety of different conditions. As opposed to a bug, I think it is more of a monitor and adjust period for the NeL part of the game. At some point, once the release if fully in the rearview mirror, I'd like to set up a thread in the Historical Forum where - under clearly articulated settings for control purposes in each post, a bunch of us interested in this part of the game - can run tests under multiple condition sets to provide a data-based approach to what those adjustments ought to be. But it is exciting to be on the cusp of resetting the NeL and glad you are diving in.

It's a shame the pandemic impacted MLB 2020 and the celebration of the NeL that centennial would have brought. And whether it is MLB or baseball-reference or OOTP, so glad it's getting more focus.
