And no, it's not time to move on. It's time for Garlon and the devs to undo the damage caused by Garlon telling people to put 1000 in the ABs adjust field.
You could certainly put 1000 in there if you want.

The big point with the adjust/weak fields is that I think different users tend to use those values for different purposes.

Some people simply want them there to make sure that very small sample sizes don't get over-represented. You don't want to start a game in 1957 and have Bob Hazle set the hits record because he comes in with a max contact rating for that year.

But there are others who use the settings almost more as a balance issue, with it being a lot more aggressive.

It really depends on which way you want to use it. And even with all of that, the way it's done this year tends to be even less aggressive than previous years. Often in previous years, the minute someone fell under the limits, they were massively adjusted down. The current setup tries to be a lot more moderate, so that players that fall under the limits are not adjusted down to being worse than a AA player.
