This is why I'm puzzled, when someone asks if I am playing historical or fictional. I mean, the answer is historical, meaning actual seasons with real players. But because I immediately start making my own trades, setting different lineups, promoting different rookies, eventually drafting different guys, using my own strategy, it really seems "fictional" to me. Of course when I make all of these big and small changes, the results will differ. That's the whole point of making changes. And it flat amazes me how I am rewarded for good decisions, and punished for bad ones. Once I take over, things depart from historical reality pretty fast.
