as you are seeing with Ed Delehanty and Bill Hamilton for example.
That has been a problem with the recalc historical game for as long as I have been playing it (15 years now), I have to track all these guys manually and reduce their ratings after their final season.
Bill Kiester for example is another of these who can just go on and on into superstar land until tehy are 70 years old if you don't stay on top of it.


Don't know if the issue will ever be addressed,

go into your main player list and see how many star players you have over the age of 40 that should have realistically retired a long time before as an example of it
That's usually not a problem if you use a combination of recalc and the ootp development engine. If both are used the development engine will kick into effect when the player runs out of recalc years. Pretty much have to use retire according to history if decide to use recalc only.
