My speculation would be if you started in say 1966 (or whatever was Ryan's first year) and by actual retirement, his numbers will be better than say a game begun in 1940 with AI in control of the retirements (ie long careers for guys who never had them in real life)

Started in 1969. Lahman DB. No played dev, Did not retire according to history. Used three-year recalc with current year doubled. Those were the settings for the Ryan who never had a K/9 above 9.1. He still was on pace for 300 wins and over 4,000 strikeouts, he was just getting there at a far slower rate than real life.
The current test is the same but without the current year doubled and potential based on remaining peak years (vs reaming years of career). In theory, not much has changed but he is performing far more closely to what he did in real life (4 season over 300 K and three over 10.5 K/9)
