I used to write down my OOTP final season stats and compared them to my League Totals (IE expected stats). I quit doing that years ago because a quick visual check was enough to see they were all fine.

With the advent of autocalc these numbers have typically been good in my games. Autocalc has my balk LTM at .483 in v23. In v22 it is .493. That is a typical LTM in all versions I have autocalced. I have never seen a balk LTM anywhere near 1.000 using autocalc.

I can't say for sure about the first year or two of autocalc but, for me, autocalc has made the balk numbers always come out reasonably close. Keep in mind balks are a small number so any fluctuation is magnified in the percentages. IOW I normally find +\- 5% stats acceptable. Balks can be a bit farther off and still be ok, IMHO.

I did find one of my old notebooks and here are some numbers I recorded a few versions\years ago.

Expected \ OOTP

146/121
146/213
146/137
146/118
146/114

These numbers are from v16-v18. After this, as noted, I quit writing them all down.
