Hmm. I don't think it's *that* accurate. I mean, it's really accurate in that it actually does play out the seasons and then give you the standings. However, it also assumes that nobody is going to get hurt, no talent rating changes occur, and teams stay with the same rosters all season long, which actually makes it more than inaccurate enough in my book. I like to use it as a general gauge for how well each team should really expect to do in the year; a team that's poised to win 95 games might want to engineer a trade or keep riding an iffy player who may be slumping or may just not be that good more than a team that's poised to win 65.``
