I'm not sure I see anyone citing RL examples for comparison, but the reality AFAIK is the totals aren't that far removed from the game presentations. For instance, and someone is welcome to check me on this, my notes indicate the ML are hitting at about .237 this year and IIRC, last year's totals were a fair share worse at season's end. That's not right at my fingertips, but IIRC it was closer to .220, so I'm not convinced without RL data to support our comparisons we're talking about anything to cause real concern here.
In fact, after the discussion last year (or was it the year before) Markus actually did do a little tweaking in the PH area after consulting those figures. Anyone care to validate a couple of my recollections here? Again, my take on the real concern is that we haven't taken the time to examine RL data. How far off are we season to season? I'm thinking it is not as extreme as we/you imagine.
