The end of the year totals may look fine, but the way you get there is through more extreme periods of hot and cold. This is with individual players and teams in general. If you accept that going in and know that when you are cold you just have to ride it out and better times are coming, it makes it a little easier....and those hot streaks are fun!

Wow, you are even more veteran than I am . . . I think I started with version 6!
My theory is that it has something to do with the game trying to adjust to the overall stat levels I've laid out, or maybe that it has something to do with the check boxes on the League Totals screen. These ones:
Lock League Stat Totals
Automatically control in-game engine
But I don't see why this keeps happening. I play the game with a friend and we do not see this happen when we play on his computer. It's also true that I play around with the ratings of the players quite a bit before they are drafted. But again, I can't see why the ratings would make the game play different. Those two things are not supposed to be related to each other.
