Hey Brad, which are you suggesting?

a) There's no connection to Mays' actual career stats but due to the randomness of "recalc off / development on / TCR 120" if enough sims are run, it's inevitable that he would occasionally reach greatness?
or
b) There's at least some connection to Mays' career actual stats to where even with recalc off, he'll sometimes reach greatness?

At any rate, I would think a possible solution to the Mays scenario would be - using the OP's example:

1. Start the game with Recalc ON, set at either 3-or 5-years.
2. Turn off Recalc at some point very early, perhaps right after creating the game. All other settings - development & TCR, specifically - stay the same.

That way pretty much all players start with initial ratings that reflect who they really are, but they can absolutely have alternate career paths based upon the whims of OOTP's TCR/development.
