In my current game Roberto Clemente was 293/324/435 versus real life 317/359/475. Circa 10,000 PAs in each situation is certainly a large sample. More illustrative is 65.5 WAR in the game versus 94.8 real life, a huge difference. It certainly would not have been safe to give him a ten year contract with an amount based on his real life performance.

Also in the same game Willie Stargell won Rookie of the Year and his ratings at the time supported his achievement. And, as reported above, he had a chance to be the all time HR leader.

So maybe I'm misattributing the cause, but something in my settings is resulting in substantial rating deviations during a time where RL data is available.
