They are if you use the historical setup wizard--play historical. Not sure about the MLB Quickstart. Guessing with as much work as the folks that make the quickstart put in, the splits are pretty darn accurate.

Please know I'm not criticizing OOTP's method in any way shape or form. I think it I actually prefer the generic. Heck, I use the combo of recalc and player development when I play historical/random debut, so my games take on a more "what if" feel from day one. I can say this without a doubt, I would much rather OOTP use generic splits and offer me every historical season from 1900 forward, than have OOTP painstakingly create each season by hand and sell me those seasons one by one. Oh and then there's the whole "Career Play" aspect of OOTP. Let's face it, "Career Play" is OOTP's drop the mic feature.
