Thank you for putting some numbers on it. My testing has resulted in numbers at the high end of that range. The win numbers I posted previously are with free agency. I don't see that FA makes performance of expansion teams unpredictable.
The expansion teams don't have access to top players anyway. They can't afford them in free agency and without free agency they'd be protected from the draft.

Why do people use different players, different lineups, different strategy, development, talent change randomness, and the development lab, but judge the game on whether it produces historical statistics?
