Don’t get me wrong, I love playing OOTP22, but nothing is more frustrating by the predictable losing streak that follows the winning streaks. I understand, it’s likely a few of the wins during a winning streak are “lucky”, but it’s as if the game has to correct course once the streak is over.

Let’s say you’re a .600 team currently. You real off 8 straight wins, and now the game needs to revert you back to the .600 team you are, and those 8 straight wins are followed by 4 or 5 straight losses. This happens countless times each season for me. Doesn’t matter the opponents, situations, etc. I’d guess 90% of the time I have a win streak snapped, it’s followed with 2 or 3 losses (if I’m lucky). Plus it’s the type of losses. I score 10+ runs 3 straight games, followed by 4 of 5 in which I don’t score more then 2. Just had a 15 game winning streak snapped by losses of 3, 1, 2, and 1, in which I scored a total of 6 runs.

I know people will say this stuff happens all the time in real life. I just don’t recall real life swings in wins/losses like I see. For example, here is how my season has gone:
5 straight wins, 4 straight losses, 5 straight wins, lossing 6 of the next 7, alternating wins/losses for the next 7, win 3 straight (outscoring my opponent 54-2), lose 4 of next 5, win 2 of next 3, win 15 straight, lose 4 straight. Things swings don’t feel common in real life, but maybe I’m wrong.
