Occurrences in your sim have as much weight as occurrences in real MLB. Your sim should be an alternative universe to the one you live in as you watch real MLB. Yes, there has not been a season where three relievers have saved 50+. But look at the historical trend as it pertains to bullpen use and the reduction to normal of offensive numbers. With pitchers getting bigger and throwing harder, that day is coming. Just my opinion.

If that is all that you are saying, I would be in complete agreement with you. I agree with 100% of this post. Addressing me, here, is akin to singing to a (slightly) out of tune choir.
However, you entered the conversation by contending that The Show has superior BP AI. Yet, you have actually made points for the affirmative response contrary to this assertion.
Because Jansen is your pitcher on your team, you go to great detail about the wonderful "perfect storm" that has occurred for your most dominant and wonderfully powerful team that you have put together, and all of this is offered as evidence that The Show has a superior BP AI? Well, it does nothing to demonstrate that.
You then go on to say that if league totals are skewed and records set because of the skew that there is something wrong with your game and/or modifiers.
Well, you had three pitchers save 50 games.
That has never happened. But you think it is great that it did in your first season (because your guy saved 63).
This is evidence that your
individual player usage* modifiers are off, or, more likely, the BP AI in The Show is not as great as you think that it is.
This is not evidence of superior BP AI.
