An example, let's say that a player spent all of 1988 absolutely tearing it up in triple A, but for some reason didn't get to the majors (or barely played in the majors). In your sim you have recalc based upon current year only (1-yr recalc), so there's a decent change that he'll play in the majors and might perform well because his ratings will be based upon his excellent triple A numbers. Then let's say that in 1989, for whatever reason he had a terrible year in triple A. Recalc won't care about his 1988 sim stats, it will only look at his terrible 1989 triple A stats and give him ratings according to those.

Oh wow, so the recalc factors in minor league stats and adjusts ratings on that too?
What about guys who, if you have 5-year recalc, don't have a 5-year window of playing ball? For example, a guy who tore it up in the minors for a few years (in real life), so maybe has decent ratings, and in your game, he gets "good" in the MLB. Is there a chance he could stay "good," or will his ratings dwindle due to not having enough years of pro ball in real life?
Do you also happen to know how that plays into the "AI evaluation of players" if you would set your ratings to be a very low percentage? In our example above with the minor leaguer who tore it up, if you had ratings set low but "this year's stats" set high, would he build up his "stars" (overall ability/performance) and thus continue to have a high chance for output the following years?
