Sluggers with high K rates will still strike out 150-180 times in a season instead of being well up into the 200s.

Excellent suggestion! I've been playing around with these settings today, and after creating league using 1990, I'm very happy with the results, though the first season a 38 year old stole 152 bases.
after 30 seasons, 50 HRs have only been hit once with the 40s being the league leader most years. Plenty of complete games and 60+ SB seasons.
I do wish that 50 HRs would be reached a few more times in 30 seasons and the most pitcher K's is 259. I'd like to get that up to around 280. Perhaps '91 or '92 will get me there.
Question for you. When I select the year for my settings, the league totals change for that year, but the modifiers remain at 1.000. Do I have to have them auto calc each year or can they remain at 1.000?
Something about auto calculating modifiers never sat right with me, possibly because i just dont understand it after all these years of playing. I tend to just leave everything at default
