No changes to the SIM engine in more than a decade. I doubt you’re seeing anything other than small sample sizes. I just finished an OL with 1984 Jack Clark and he absolutely raked.

I'll keep using them for now but I seem to be the only one who thinks they look like bargains.

Recently completed OL (home park: Petco)
84 Clark (249 PA)
RL: .320/.434/.537
SIM: .352/.462/.507
28 Schang (342 PA)
RL: .286/.448/.404
SIM: .287/.439/.374
38 Peacock (233 PA)
RL: .303/.358/.364
SIM: .295/.328/.369

Another OL through 150 games, also Petco
2022 Brendan Donovan (468 PA)
RL: .281/.394/.379
SIM: .291/.394/.333
1916 Schang (423 PA)
RL: .266/.358/.420
SIM: .295/.372/.461
2000 Scott Sheldon (138 PA)
RL: .282/.336/.468
SIM: .300/.359/.462

Most of my teams I use 2-4 guys with part-time PAs; I'm not seeing any problem.
