There are countless dynasties about people winning like 5 straight championships with the Montreal Expos or the Kansas City Royals. Everyone except you thinks that the biggest issue with the game is that it’s too easy to win in those situations. Do you think that they’re all in on the grand conspiracy, too?

This is so, so dumb.

This is not really very good evidence that bias doesn't exist.
That bias can be overcome doesn't mean that it's not there.

This is better evidence, that more people aren't noticing it.

I mean where are the people that buy this game? More would most likely be in bigger markets simply because there are more fans. So make money by making those fans happy. I have played multiple smaller market teams with superior lineups and they still struggle to win, and have played bigger market teams with lineups that are not as good and they had no trouble winning. Just for the hell of it I simmed out 2 more seasons with similar results one a big market team and one small. Simply put I think the devs have decided money matters more than accuracy. And that's their prerogative, but you've lost me as a consumer after this iteration of the game. Which again I am sure doesn't matter much to the devs.

Funny...I've done saves with the A's, Marlins, Rays, Pirates, and Orioles over the years and have never struggled to turn my team into a powerhouse. I'm a Yankee fan but I enjoy playing smaller markets with limited budgets. But maybe my game knows that I live in New York, so they give me more favorable results. Yes, that explains why my teams win so much! Not the talent that I acquire, but my physical location. Yeah okay. This post is ridiculous.

I don't think there's anything more to gain from this thread.
