Not very often will this happen with the recalculate mode. You will get some far outperform real life such as Royals pitcher Melido Perez (78-85 real life vs 177-137 this sim). Perez is probably not the best example but one I noticed from my last post on Kansas City.
For lack of a better phrase the recalculate mode can be considered very close to DMB type replays. I call it the Hall of Fame mode because it delivers far more realistic career paths. However, the old or if you prefer 'Classic' mode is still available and it will give you a chance to have a Cliff Markle (see my sig) type player develop.
I would expect most solo replayers will use the recalculate option but online leagues may greatly prefer the classic mode because of the unpredictability or randomness of career development.
To me, it gives the user the best of both worlds and allows you to play the way you want to.
