Perhaps I am the only one thinking this way:

If MFitterer1 is really trying to make his leagues "realistic", it might just be the reason for all the troubles.

From his past posts, I felt that he didn't really understand well how either real life MLB or the OOTP game works. Yet he's offering tips like he's a master. And he's constantly asking for active players to help his leagues. I'd say ambition and ignorance can be a deadly combo.

An experienced commissioner, or a more humble commissioner could have prevented all this from happening. All the attemps to modify the game rules for realism should have been well thought and discussed. Also well announced. Stuff like Beckett and not knowing the real life arbitration rules should NEVER have happened. Who else would modify a contract that way without understanding the correct rules, and discussing it thoroughly first? And for the manager mode mistake, shouldn't it have been reported right after he himself found it? A "sorry league, I did something stupid, and didn't know if any damage done, but I've tried my best to save the league" announcement would have been nice.

For MFitterer1, I don't think he understands what's wrong with his leagues even now. He doesn't realize his incompetence, and so do we. We all thought he's just a regular cheater.

Do I make any sense?
