Who wants to play OOTP22 if the only question is -- how is your team going to LOSE this one? Any ideas???

this happens to real teams every single season in real life. who would want to play in the MLB if you just have to wonder how you will lose this year lol.
In all seriousness though, it could be a million things youre not considering in a sim this deep.
if you want something easy, tweak settings to make trades easier, turn your scouting to 100% accurate, and turn off injuries.
otherwise be prepped for bad seasons. your scouts will be dead wrong on players sometimes (think bubba starling), injuries will ruin seasons and maybe careers of top players (think grady sizemore), youll make bad free agency moves with players who end up really dropping off (think marcus semien right now), and maybe consider you arent making moves as smart as you think. the AI is also trying to win rather than lay down. And also 14 games really isnt a big sample size. the angels started like 27-20 this year, they just snapped a 14 game losing streak. no promises in baseball. be realistic in your expectations.
