If you take a look at some of your career records I think you'll see some of those initial guys lead a few of the categories. Not to say they're out of wack but they do seem to have a head start compiling stats.
For curiosity sakes I created a new fictional league and there are some pretty highly rated younger players that you just won't find in the ammy drafts, like I was saying earlier.
I guess it's whats important to the simmer. That's why there's chocolate and vanilla.  |
I don't know, maybe I wasn't clear enough in my first post.
When I said not one record is out of whack, I meant not 1, not 2, not 3, not any. I have zero problems as are described throughout this thread.
The fact that initial guys lead a few catagories is irrelevant. Everytime a league is started, real or OOTP or any other game, there's going to be records set in the first season. It happened in real baseball. It can't help but happen since there are no records when a league starts up.
What I'm saying is, every record in my leagues are reachable for future stars. None of them are ridiculously high or unattainable.
I started the league in 2001, it's now 2138. Here's a small sample of career records:
HR's season - 54 set in 2012
SB's season - 70 set in 2020
Avg season - .385 set in 2003 (certainly not unrealistic for someone to better this)
ERA season - 0.82 set in 2064
Wins season - 27 set in 2121
Saves season - 57 set in 2039
Of those 6 only one was set in the early years and as stated, it's definitely not an out of reach record for future years.
Again, I am not doubting those who are saying this happens, just saying I've never had the problem.
