Keep this in mind. I play a couple of leagues where I maintain a dominant dynastic position. I spend the most, leverage my success and seek out the best players every year. I don't set out to game the AI but I am not claiming sainthood in any way. I can often see value in certain players that the AI doesn't and I discard them the minute they slip. I expect to win the WS every year with the best WL record if possible.
I don't. Each season I play as hard and as obsessively as possible to blow away the competition; not just winning but dominating everything. I don't cheat by editing players, making illogical trades, reversing injuries, low balling contracts or replaying a WS (someone here actually suggested this
).
I just missed the playoffs for the 2nd time in 7 seasons and haven't won the WS in 4 seasons. In previous versions (didn't play this league v11, 12, 13), I could win 2-4 WS in a row no problem. Since v15 for sure the AI is formidable.
My position is that if I can play with an intent to dominate and not actually dominate the AI can't be that bad or maybe I'm not that good.
