Message for historical players and David Watts.
David and I both play historical similarly, with development on and TCR of 1 so that we get new career arcs but always or 99.9% of the time to the player's potential values. I like recalc off also as I alter some players, especially pitchers, and also some players fielding ratings, and with development on I don't have to go and make changes every year.

Anyway...
Tried out a 1890 start. TCR 1
By 1892 some young players have big swings in their values.
Ed Delahanty went from a 208 hitting potential to a 150. he would still be a good player but not Ed Delehanty. Similar giant loses came for Hugh Jennings, John McGraw, Kid Nicholls and several others. Older players tended to stay somewhat even.

Those are a lot of players and big swings for TCR 1. I am probably going to have to shift to a 3 year recalc and keep making some changes manually.
Wanted to let all of you know what I was seeing. Never had swings like this in any other edition of OOTP.
