With real players, some of the greats do not do well in the game... for instance in my All-Time All-Star Association dynasty, Tom Seaver went 7-22 with a 5.02 ERA... Hank Aaron hit .250 and was a second stringer most of the time... Hank Greenberg batted a poor .234... Willie Mays was just a mediocre batter, posting a .250 BA with 15 homers...and Harmon Killebrew never could play regularly... he just couldn't hit for any kind of average.

I just couldn't accept their poor performances... so I switched to fictional leagues many versions ago.

It might be better now with OOTP17, but I don't think I will try it using historicals... I really like fictionals.
I have seen plenty of great players flop but none of them.
Seaver - 247-147 3.52 2600 K 4 time AS
Elvis as Hank HOF
Greenberg HOF
Clu Haywood as Killebrew. So far 3 time AS ROTY.
