The only truly historical save is one with historical teams, historical players, as played schedules, and as played lineups. Obviously people consider saves with a lot more non historical than that still be in the historical house.

To me what qualifies a save as being within the scope of historical is that it uses what was available at the time in a plausible way. So I don't consider not using recalc to make it non historical. Likewise, expansion that's not exactly historical but plausible keeps the save in the area of historical.

I think 12 teams in 1967 isn't plausible and also think random debut doesn't qualify as historical. HOWEVER, I think if you were to ask your questions on the fictional forum they'd tell you that the save doesn't qualify as fictional because it has real players (even though often at the wrong time) and historical modifiers.

Anyway, if I were you I wouldn't worry about it.
