I would prefer if the year over year HOF voting seemed to follow a logical progression. It would be nice for players to generally gain votes and build support over their candidacy instead of just fluctuating around whatever percentage they started with.
Seeing a player go from 60% to 73% to 57% to 62% to 71% and never get in just feels wrong. It takes extremely unusual circumstances for a player to top 70% and not get inducted in the next year or two (basically Schilling requesting to be taken off the ballot or a Vizquel type discovery of misconduct), but in OOTP that happens all the time. It would be very surprising if Helton doesn't get elected next year, but in game he probably is about as likely to drop back below 50% as pick up the 3% to get inducted.
