Thank you again for the responses. I am anticipating ratings changes based on the following season's real life stats, not the previous season's. So, on 1/1/88, I expect Benny Distefano's ratings to change to reflect his real-life 1988 results of .345/.394/.621. They did not change.
Another example I will give you to hopefully further explain my point. 1987 Tom Prince in real life hit .222/.222/.667 in 9 at bats. On 1/1/87 according to his player history his ratings (again, I do not use scouts) were 35 contact, 30 power, 35 eye. If you import his 1987 year via Lahman, the import gives him ratings of 40 contact, 80 power, 20 eye. The import ratings should lead to close to his real line of .222/.222/.667. His one year recalc ratings will not.
To summarize, I was of the opinion that ratings using 1 year recalc would match ratings generated by importing that player, that season from Lahman. They do not match. Lahman appears to be accurate, 1 year recalc appears to not generate accurate player ratings for that season. If one year recalc worked properly, 1987 Tom Prince would have 80 power and 1988 Tom Prince (when he only slugged .203) would have 20 power.
I do love this game and all of the features I have never found in other games. However, I am frustrated with the fact that 1 year recalc does not appear to do what it's intended to do, which, I thought, was to come close to reproducing individual seasons within the context of a career.
