Please add the choice for recalc to the first page of the historical league creation wizard. Let us choose 1 year, 3 year or 5 year when creating our league.

Then please, can the developers make it so the game looks at our choice of recalc, be it 1,3 or 5 years and then offer us the best possible options for our adjust hitter/pitchers make bad hitters/pitchers. Why this aspect of the game is often reduced to throwing darts blindly into space is beyond me. I have no idea what the best option is for 1 year recalc. I know it isn't the default 300/150 for hitters.

Just give us the answer for each recalc that provides the best results. It could be as simple as a question....Would you like OOTP to use your assigned settings to set the game for most realistic results?

And one more thing. If we're using 3 or 5 year recalc, we're playing historical, but we're clearly not doing a replay. We are doing a whatif. The game needs to have the ability to see this and no longer destroy players that missed seasons due to the war, injury etc. Williams, DiMaggio, Greenberg and Feller should not become bench players during the war years. Chris Carpenter should not pitch at the top of the rotation and compete for a Cy Young award and then fall to the last pitcher in the bullpen or the reserve roster during the 2 years he was hurt in real life. Let the game in some way factor in their actual career. And turning development off is not the answer. Doing that means I can't do whatifs where Koufax doesn't retire.
