Too Good...

AceRock86 · 06-27-2009, 11:59 PM

My team in the game is good, definitely one of the better teams in the league. They are 25-1 though. Great players are playing great, as well as guys whose ratings would dictate average or poor performances. Is there anyway to make the results more realistic, or should I just expect it to even out over time?

Not much info in your post to work with. I'd give it 100 games.

Did you cheat with trades? or ratings?

I edited some ratings, but I edited the ratings of a good number of the players not just mine.

The one trade that I did, it was on hard so I don't think that I cheated it. The premise of it was giving up my 23 y/o 4.5 star rated SS, #12 ranked prospect in baseball, #5 starter, and a relief pitcher for a 24 y/o 5 star 2B, a solid prospect, a #5 starter worse than my own, and a relief pitcher who wasn't as good as the other one either.

Currently, that SS is outproducing the 2B, but I still have this ridiculous record.

Just wait for the CEI's.

You'll finish 90-72 after injuries ravish your rotation and lineups.

Don't confuse random with greatness, either.

Most of us have played hundreds of seasons and can spot aberrations.

Enjoy while you can!

I had a streak like this in the middle of an online league season once. Ahhhh, the memories......

Try an online league. There is nothing harder than competing against other human GM's.

And prepare to be humbled if you're joining a well-established league.

Things will even out. And if they don't and you end up dominating, you could re-sim and get completely different results.
