Yeah
That's why I mostly only play fictional leagues or future leagues

And that was the point about remembering that these aren't real players.

I tried to play historical leagues, but knowing too much about how players would perform wasn't any fun.

Best league I ever had started out as a test. I simmed 40 years into the future and started looking around at the league

One team was a total also ran. No attendance. No money. No winning seasons. Trying to bring them back was my best computer baseball sim experience.

I also remember an Early Weaver baseball season where Tim Teufel flirted with .400 and won an MVP.


Anyway, it can be a hard balance to strike. Between keeping it real and keeping it interesting.
