So I'm just having a bit of a muck about with 23 after the patch and thought I'd bring things back a notch.

I have run a sim from 1915 to 1948 with the color bar on and just focusing on NeL. 5-year recalc / double-weight / development OFF / TCR 10. With this - as with all my sims - I have set hitter "make bad" to 120/100 and pitcher "make bad" to 25/18.

Here's how the leaderboards came out:

Nothing obviously untoward there. Although I'd love to know how, if the random LTMs that get applied to minor leagues are in effect here, how is the game expected to replicate NeL seasons with even the remotest level of realism and accuracy? No doubt you can just enter them in manually and do an autocalc if you feel so inclined, but still...

For mine, among the many questions I have, that of how recalc is applied is right at the top of the list. So the only way I can think of to at least get some idea in the absence of any official word is to look at the ratings of a few players' scouting from this sim.

So here is Charlie Smith under 5-yr / double-weight. Interesting the actual report says he is a pitcher.

He shows no MLB level stats in his IRL tab. It looks like he got two recalcs in '25 and '26 then nothing. Here are his in-game IRLs.

And here's Gentry Jessup (who also, it seems, gets imported automatically a second time as "Joseph" in addition to "Gentry". I have chosen these two because their short careers allow us to see the range in one screenshot.

He also seems to get just two OSA updates in each of his first two seasons, then nothing.

Here are his IRLs as per the game.

What I'd like to know here is, if dev is OFF and no recalc is being done, how is he being scouted from that point on to generate his in-game ratings? Or am I reading this report incorrectly?
