The most significant plus about recalc is that it keeps single season and career leaderboards within realistic numbers like no previous version we've ever had of OOTP.

It does a great job of catching the real swings with such players as Bernie Carbo and Johnny Bench who had some odd swing seasons right in their prime due to injury or illness.

It keeps Babe Ruth within real limits and you won't see unreasonable .400 hitters or 61+ HR until the right times and eras.

However, if you want true discrepancies and a real alternate universe, turn recalc off and allow the automatic league modifiers to at least keep league totals in check. But you could end up with more .400 hitters than you want and Ruth cranking 80 HR in his monster season.

What's great is that you have so many options and settings to test for yourself until you get the flavor that you like.
