This isn't a bug so much as a gameplay issue. Really more of a question, I guess.

I play historical leagues. I've played OOTP 9, 13 and now I'm on 14. I had a season that started in 1920 and I was up to 1925 when the file got corrupted. All that progress gone, but spilt milk, right? So I started a new season in 1959.

What I've noticed is that, whether in the early 20s or 30 games into 1959, there is a scoring pattern that holds true for ~80% of my games. Regardless of the power in my line-up or my opponents, it seems that most game finish with around 25 hits and only 2-4 runs. On average, I would say either me or the CPU load the bases with less than 2 outs and fail to score 3 times a game.

To take one player: So far in 1959, Hank Aaron has had 103 at bats with 34 hits, only 7 of which are for extra bases, with 2 home runs.

Maybe this is all anecdotal and my memory is bad. Maybe these were low-scoring eras.

I really enjoy the game. But this feels a little unrealistic to me. Does anyone else experience this?
