distribution has changed to be more realistic, eh? more below average than above etc... more pyramid-like shape?
what was successful in the past may have shifted a bit. start watchign the guys that consistently perform well in your league.. at elast 3/5 years for apitcher etc... 4/5 for a batter. RP? heh anywhere from 1-5 out of 5 lol. good luck with that looking at 1 year.
each release of ootp i go through a similar learning curve. my win pct creeps upward for 10-20 years and then levels off with normal ebb and flow. i can recognize a weak and strong team, and the expected results. it's a very consistent range ~20 years downt the line. (all fictional players)
--- is it harder? seems the same regardless of what the results are to me. it's just baseball, or rather, a version of it.
i don't really fixate on win pct as a determinant of whether it is harder or not. the decisions don't change much, so it's really the same game no matter what and outcomes are just that... a new norm. the difficulty lies in learning or knowing the best odds and maximizing that as time plays out.
flip a setting for this or that and it changes likely wins by ~20, but you stil have to make the right decisions in order to do so. the environment is somethign you don't control, which dictates the range of wins you can get. how well you make decisions will dictate how well you do in comparison to your competition in that environment. it's all relative, and in this context the decisions are the same math -- relative to Stats and AI settings plug-n-play factors.
