I want variability... just not THAT much. At that point, I figure I might as well play fictional.
I can understand that. For me, recalc ruins the flow of a career sim. If Andy Messersmith wins 26 games with an ERA under 3 in real life, tell me in what universe he would end up a teams 4th starter to start the following season? Sure, due to injuries or poor performance he might end up there, but not due to some rethinking of his ability during the off season. I think the minute I push play a career sim becomes fictional.
