The empty teams or incredibly malformed teams are far more common in drafts than the 16 man tourneys, though. I'm guessing I'm below "replacement" rate in the drafts if you take that into consideration. Laugh.
It was much nicer without the variant cards, yes. The bigger issue for me though is that it's almost entirely random.
The AI doesn't even seem to obey the sliders, like hook starting pitcher, reliever, etc. I can override and set it as far right as possible and it'll still pull my starter before he's wasted. It only seems to factor in how many relievers you have available that aren't tired in deciding how long to leave your starter in. It's almost like these sliders have no impact whatsoever & are just there to make people feel they're doing something different, right? The strategy of the slider sliding etc etc.
Not like any true feedback is given as to why you lost 4 games to 0 to what may appear to be an inferior team (who knows if it is truly inferior? nobody knows!), or why Butts Wagner is such a dominant third baseman in your 2nd place Draft Weekly tourney, lol (it wasn't first! maybe Butts Wagner is the reason).

Agreed there is no rhyme or reason to anything in tournaments. The RNG f*&k's you on a daily basis. Yet we come back for more.lol. Yesterday, I entered 12 tournaments. Won 5 of them made it to the semi's in 2 others. Today, same team, run out in the first round in 7 straight tournaments. Just makes no sense..
