I disagree. How you do define what it's supposed to do when there are no stats to recalculate? It's arbitrarily deciding that the player should be treated like a class-A ballplayer and given extremely low ratings, but there is no statistical basis for doing this. If it's not based on stats, then I have a problem with it.
In cases where a player was already imported previously, and you're using recalc instead of development, when you sim to seasons that players missed in real life, their ratings are not recalculated to weaken them to the point of ending their career. But it's doing this on an initial historical import of a player who played previous seasons but doesn't have stats for the current season.
OOTP is not being consistent here, and I realize that this is a bit of an obscure problem and request, but it's not a one-off or limited instance. There are many players in the database who missed entire seasons, and while not all of them are stars or significant, this problem occurs with most years when you happen to start a new saved game.

This would definitely be an ideal fix for situations like this, so maybe it can be requested again. And maybe we can get enough people to sign on.
