Every Superstar I Sign Plays Terribly.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a pitcher but every 4+ star rated player I acquire from trades or free agency plays absolutely horrible. Pitchers’ ERAs are 5.00 or greater when they had ERA’s under 3.00 when before I acquired them. Batters who were hitting over .300 with big power numbers hit .220 with little power for me. Of course then the players drop to 2 or 2.5 stars and with big salaries are untradable. Does anybody else have similar experiences? I made some big trades just before the training deadline when I was in first place by 3 games and I month later I’m 7 games back and got swept by 2 last place teams even though every single player in my lineup rated higher than the other team. I could understand this happening once in awhile but it happens every season. Hopefully someone can enlighten me on why this keeps happening.

Thanks.

Check the team chemistry and also the park effects.

Double check and see if you entered "Mets" as your team nickname.
