Thanks for post.
If I was a new player this would make sense, but my team is already loaded with an offensive team that does well against Righties and Lefties, with Top 5 defense every year, with 5 CY young candidates as starters, some of the seasons I'd have a couple SP's with 270 innings with under 3.0 era with very little difference in stats between 1-9 innings, and 3 Mariano Rivera's at the backend of my rotation (Literally my closer puts up Rivera numbers). Most wins with a loaded team and players like that was 111, because my juggernaut of an offense would put up 1 run in a 3 game series against the 2024 Oakland athletics (terrible team). My teams are all around loaded.
I always have the best coaches in the league, all of my coaches have always been legendary or outstanding in the elements they are supposed to. Development, Mec, Aging stats all Legendary/outstanding. 1st/3rd coaches great at teaching running/base running. I always make sure to have at least one coach great at teaching C, OF, IF, and 4th one I cant remember in the moment. Cohesion is esctatic, so they all work well with each other, chemistry is great.
I've never put so much effort into making an OOTP team destroy records than 24, and this is the hardest one so far to accomplish it. One posted earlier about continuously winning 130+ games a year. I'd love to know how they do it, everything they stated I already do.
Thanks again for post!
