Just a thought here - but something that you must think through before calling this a bad thing....

What is the intention of OOTP in terms of "replay"?
Let me first state that in a fictiaonl league, this type of thing is good since we're not trying to mirror a real individual - and poise and clutch can all be considered.

In a historical league, however, these type ratings are "guesses" - based on observation and some assumption. Some would say this is bad since we want to stick with only what we know.

So - are we saying we want historical replay and fictional league to operate differently? Or, are we going to lean toward - and accept that OOTP was nt intended to be a "mirror" of reality - but only an "image" of it ?

If we truly believe in the idea of an "alternate" outcome, things like this allow that to happen.
