I know that in real life, owners win like 97% of arbitration cases. In ootp13 I was winning less than 50%, and I was offering more than the pre-arbitration estimates (usually rounding up to the next 1/4 million, but more in cases where players genuinely put up outstanding stats). Since I was constantly running in the red, and arby got moved back to 1 year, I couldn't sign extensions, and was at the mercy of the arbitrator who obviously hated me; gave a player who spent 4 months on the DL a $5 million raise.

So, no; I would not say arbitration numbers are realistic at all.
