I'm guessing that in 25, we used different cutoff thresholds, and so your 1962 ratings would effectively be the same as a 1964 single season replay. This year, we'll at least try to count some of those minor league seasons into the ratings total, hence his totals showing more like a minor league player.

I appreciate your response. Carty has 1924 professional PA (more than plenty) over the 5-year period, so adjust the weaken-hitters option has no effect.
In both 25 & 26, Carty's single-season projected slash line is 338/402/582, which is still quite a bit higher than 25's 5-year projected line of 296/360/502,
If you will indulge my research a bit... I looked at the single-season projected slash line for Carty in 60-64 and here's how they differed from v25 to v26. You can see the difference is very slight:

If you take those single season slash lines and weight them by PA (I have no idea what OOTP actually does), the weighted averages look like this, compared to what the game shows in the player editor:

So you can see that OOTP 26 is much much closer to the weighted average (which is good, assuming that MLB equivalencies are weighted equally to MiLB equivalencies). But the 26 projection is lower than the weighted average, which suggests that the MLB plate appearances are weighted lower than the MiLB appearances.
But there is a stark difference between the two game versions.
