For years, this game was criticized as being too easy. We talked of all sorts of ways to ramp up the challenge, from settings to house rules.
But here, I will take this opportunity to express my opinion again: I think something was done in this version (14) to really make it tough to dominate, especially for extended periods as in a "dynasty."
The reason I say this is because this is the first version in which I have experienced FRUSTRATION for extended periods instead. Previously, I would have a bad season or three but eventually I would make all the right moves and end up with perennial 100-game winners.
Not so now! What you describe happened to me for 15 SEASONS in which I would struggle to get above .500, get up to 90 wins one season but only to fall back below .500 the next.
This is new to me with OOTPB. It also makes the game more realistic. Best of all, when I finally AM good and win a world championship (came close last year), it is even more satisfying than before.
