One thing I’ve learned is that even the ratings are just a snapshot, an estimate in a way, subject to change, as you say. I don’t have a lot of long sims to understand how they change over time; but even within a year I see changes, and performances that are seemingly contrary to what scouting and ratings would suggest. Is that TCR? Whatever, it’s enough “fog of war’ and surprises and unpredictability for me.
Yes, I am simply looking for consistency, and I also don't want to see underneath the hood. Like I said, this makes sense for the AI perhaps..but why as humans are we being subject to the actual numbers? It just seems sloppy and not well put together to me. I can't understand why this would be a design decision?? (which clearly it is)
