I have been playing this game since the very beginning, but there are some issue with the game that no matter the edition or patch have never been solved and I was wondering if 1) The makers are aware of these or 2) if everyone has these issues or if maybe I'm doing something wrong.

1) The game does things that just doesn't make sense. For example, Chris Sale won 21 games for the Red Sox and won the Cy Young award in my previous season. The next season, they moved him to the bullpen, put their closer Craig Kimbral, who has a stamina of 27, in the rotation, and put a created player with 1 1/2 stars as their closer. Sale has hardly been used, Kimbral has yet to go longer than 4 innings in a start, and the kids ERA is over 7.

2) Players who aren't home run hitters are immediately moved to the bench and are worthless. Guys like Elvis Andrus, Dexter Fowler, Starlin Castro aren't seen as top tier guys they're seen as bench players and when they're contracts expire they're free agents asking for league minimum.

3) Anyone over the age of 35 drops to 2 stars or less and is terrible. At 34 Albert Pujols hit .300 with 39 HR and over 100 RBI, the next year he turns 35, drops 3 stars and hits .195 with 8 HR and 32 RBI? That's not realistic.

I understand that these variables could happen in certain extreme cases, but this isn't an extreme cases, this is the norm with every single team in my game, star players are benched the next year, non-home run hitters don't matter, and 35+ and in the case of starting pitchers younger, are awful. What can be done about this?
