[phenom]

And this is exactly my point. These things just feel wrong and feel like they're happening an irregular number of times, and others seem to feel the same way, but it's ignored because I haven't done a comprehensive study of it. I just want to play the game without feeling like the unluckiest manager on the planet. The solution to my problem probably isn't a change in the game itself, because I honestly don't know how you find what causes this, but I do believe it is real. The solution to my problem is likely only understanding what level of this I choose to tolerate.

I don't mind people thinking I'm wrong, but casting me aside only because of some arbitrary standard of evaluation that I haven't met is bothersome. I've already considered and investigated everything suggested in this thread and much, much more. I think it falls between the lines of stats on paper.
