Yes that is a quicker way at what I was saying.
Still we don't know from the info if the problem is with LTM giving too many total HRs so the leaders have too many HRs or if the total number of HRs is right but the top is getting too big of a share of the total.
What happens when you select a year after creation and hit auto-calc is not just the LTM's change but so does everything else under it like position modifiers and all the pitching modifiers. These look like fielding and pitcher stamina mods so it shouldn't affect HRs other than maybe stamina?
If the player's ratings are the problem that is the traditional PCMs this affects ratings on creation of players at the start and new players. Changing those take a long while to see though because it just means different ratings for new players and it doesn't change existing players. So it takes years until you get a critical mass of new players in the majors to see it.
I suspect the problem is not hitting autocalc mods. If you just select a year for totals in the creation all the mods stay at 1. So selcting 1993 on creation and not auto-calcing after game start and the initial draft is done if you have one puts some neutral year below 2021 and well above 1993. For instance autocalcing with 2021 gives a little above 1.2 on HRs. 1993 gives .672 for HRs. So if you select 1993 at creation and don't autocalc you get 1 on HRs which will put you much closer to 2021 for HRs than 1993. With 1 on HRs I got about 4700 HRs in the 2023 season a 14.6% bigger number than the 4100 of 1993.
That is why I asked if the league totals are off. In other words did you see around 4100 total HRs but 3 guys with 60+ HRs. If you did the problem is in player creation. If the 4100 is off the problem is with the LTM. If you get 5000 HR with 1993 settings you either didn't autocalc or the mods aren't working right.
So I would check your LTM's first. If you chose 1993 totals and don't see a HR mod of .672 or something around that. You didn't auto-calc.
