A problem which I'm curious about...

How does the game engine do these statistical projections? Since the statistics generated by the game are determined by a combination of a.) league totals and era settings and b.) the ratings of ALL players in the league (since they interact with each other - no player performs in a vacuum) I don't see a way for reasonable projections to be made. I'll check out the rating translator to see if I'm missing something, but I've been doing research on the OOTP engine since version 2, and I can't imagine how it could be done.
