This sudden and catastrophic ratings drop hit me too, essentially killing a league I lavished hours and hours on. I noticed in particular that when I edited a few of the more unlikely names in my league, the ratings took an immediate and severe hit. Is this coincidental?
Coupled with an AI that sends productive players off to taxi-squad hell, and my persistent inability to figure out how to add in Arods DB into the game ( I know, many have done it; Ive got no excuse other than ineptitude with the most basic of commands/syntax/skills with Windows ), and Im pretty well stymied thus far.
I could even live without historicals--fictionals
do hook you into their world rather quickly--but the plethora of 19 year-old megastars and 29 year-old living-dead-has-beens has me at a standstill. I'm just waiting on a patch, as the Rolling Stones might have sung.
