guess i'll have to do a fictional league for hockey, too. i have not gotten into the game yet, but if it has anything like LTMs from ootp, you will have to slowly bump the league total mods over time as fictional players replace real players, or just play fictional form the start.
I don't think loud people ruined this. I'm still investigating but it seems that random players just have worse stats or a bad combination of stats (like good technical skills but lacking physique or speed, or the other way around), whilst the 'real' players are usually well balanced and decent on every aspect. In the batch of 'real' players most good players have good/excellent physical ratings. But in a couple generations when the fictional players have taken over the league, even the best fictional players are severely lacking in at least one department like speed, strength, etc.

I think this can be fixed by boosting physical ratings slightly, so players with good physical ratings won't become as rare in a few decades. However I am still investigating this, so maybe there are different problems.
