This.

Take my current season for example. My team in the preseason predictions is forecast to win 100 games. I started the season 4-11, this game sucks! What is wrong with OOTP?

I'm currently 19-13 and on a pace for 96 wins. But wait, I'm 15-4 over my last 19 games. That's a .789 win pct and means without the poor start I would have won a 128 games, right?


Doesn't mean I'll win 96, or even get to the predicted 100 wins, or the 128 I should win. What it does show is sample size matters.
