I don't understand how the offseason / "rust" thing works though. Because I had some guys advancing in the winter and some regressing. Why would that happen when they aren't playing at all?
Here too some things are up and some are down, just seems like much more are down.
Most of my better prospects have been active for about a week and a half. I moved everyone who wouldn't be overmatched into A/A+/AA/AAA until I reshuffle after the amateur draft.
Even though this game often frustrates me, I just love it too much to stop playing. I guess I'm an addict.
I'm going to stop spending so much time trade hunting and just play through a few weeks of the season. Maybe you're right and things will improve.
In fairness, I DID have a couple of players last year who developed nicely, including one who kind of developed out of nowhere. Maybe it just is what you said... most guys are going to be duds.
Thanks for putting up with my whining!
