Hey guys,

I'm new-ish to OOTP 24, bought it with the recent sale after playing OOTP 21 basically forever. I decided to challenge myself and do a save with the Detroit Tigers. Outside of my struggles, which result from many things I could discuss (trading being much harder, some prospects not really doing much, International signings flopping), I've noticed a weird trend and don't know if it's normal or not.
I'm currently in my 6th season, and although I've built at least an average offense in most years, I've noticed that my offense is almost always way worse in April than the other months, and that it had become a trend, despite relatively low roster turnover. For example, the team OPS in April 2027 was .630 when the lowest for any other month was .727.
The issue with this trend is that it often leads to terrible starts (that April ended at 7-19) which are difficult to recover from.
I wanted to know if anyone else encountered this, if it was normal or not (the need to build chemistry ? cold temperatures in a pitcher friendly park ?) and what I could possibly do to fix this.

Thank you very much for reading.
