Not the outcomes of the game or how people build their rosters. Right now it's a coin flip because generally everyone is going to play the same cards.
Like I said, I have no idea if it fixes it or not. Not my idea.

Anytime randomization is increased, it increases the coin flip. Though I don't think it needs to necessarily change what is being done now, I will say that I'm looking forward to the change to the Tourney game engine which may end up changing which players are favored. The result is that the old is thrown out and new studies will determine what is best. For the most part, that favors the person who puts in the work at least at first (until people just copy what winners are doing). But then I've always favored games based more on skills/knowledge gained from playing than those that rely solely on a roll of dice requiring no thinking. At least with the tourneys now, the roll of he dice only comes later and at the beginning is the fun of learning. I wouldn't mind if it was changed on a regular basis (not from tourney to tourney, but maybe week to week to give a chance to learn which are the players to change. So if not changed by game engine tweaks, wouldn't mind doing the ballpark tweaks weekly rather than tourney to tourney so that each week a different lineup/strategy can be tracked/studied/learned.
