Also, every year I have to go into editor to correct arm strength for the era I'm playing in (usually 1980-2005) because people with legendary throwing arms are rated average & some of the best catchers defensively/calling games are average slightly above in-game. I imagine it's because this is not measured in stat lines & requires manual research. Is this something that has been touched this iteration or is it at least on the dev's radar as an area to improve for realism? It's jarring when you watched these guys & see Ichiro, Bo Jackson, or Andre Dawson not even leading their team in that rating.

Since history doesn't change, it seems like a 1 time investment in it would be useful for every version moving forward forever, unless the game is completely rebuilt from scratch.

Thanks a bunch.
