20 Win seasons

rdomico · 03-27-2018, 08:23 PM

I've quick simmed hundreds of seasons using all default settings with fictional leagues and it seems like 20 wins in a very rare event.
For example, I played almost 100 seasons with a 16 team league playing 162 games and only 24 times did a pitcher win 20 games or more in a season. Only 10 players had more than 200 career wins.

I am not sure why this is the case. Anyone else have any thoughts?

My assumption would be fictional leagues adapt current philosophy? And if you look at last year, no one had 20 wins. It's a pretty rare feat now.

Go to:
Game
Game Settings
League Settings
Stats & AI

Look to right-hand side of screen

Many modifiers you can adjust which will impact the game and, ultimately, the number of wins pitchers are able to get.

looks like the Marlins may struggle to win 20 this year

This is is true... My starters this year in 19 are pitching MUCH less innings and getting many less decisions W or L.

Yeah, that's the reality of modern pitching rotations.

20 wins is a rare event. Eight occurrences in 4 seasons 2014-17
