That is correct- but that isn't really the point. I suspect that a lot of the reason people want real rosters is- at least to start their careers- they have a built in knowledge of the whole league- easily recognizable names as new ones blend in. It helps with the immersion value- for ME- and perhaps others. Just becasue new players are added doesn't mean Albert Pujols is retiring tomorrow- I can still follow his- and hundreds of other real players- through their careers. This appeals to me. Many others couldn't care less. Just because we want real rosters doesn't mean we don't want a dynamic universe. To insist that these are mutually exclusive is not correct- and it's not what most of us who want real rosters want, otherwise we would just play DMB.
