Actually, I've been looking at the home run numbers from 1901 to 1930.

In my opinion the player creation modifiers are probably too low. The reason they are too low is different than you would expect.

The PCMs create enough players with power so that the league totals are fairly accurate. However, from 1901 to 1920 using the same numbers the variance between players is not enough. What I am thinking is that when the PCMs are close to 0, OOTP is generating too many players with similar HR power.

I think that I have come up with good modifieid numbers to come up with fairly accurate league numbers for 1901 to 1920. I need to test some more though.

I haven't come up with a good adjustment for 1921 forward yet. Using the same formula as I did for 1901 to 1920 only gave me league leaders with roughly 35 homeruns. Better than what I was seeing with the original PCMs though.
