Simply that every design has limitations and when you make the original decisions you can't always anticipate the manner in which the game will evolve (especially the case with Sports sims as designers of them will often be partially lead by their fan base, this is the case with both CM and OOTP).

Same thing happened with BOSI in a BIG hurry. And, I'm not even running any simulations with it. This is VERY easy to do, and VERY hard to work your way out of. It's the reason why BOSI v2 is still being coded and not released yet.
