It seems to me that such results would cause threads complaining that the game was too easy and that 86-76 teams should not win 3 WS in a row. Although there have been posts claiming that the game is too easy, they generally come from people who also have dominant teams.
What would be an appropriate sample size? I have approx. 200 seasons played in various solo leagues (most of them defunct now) and I've yet to see consecutive WS won by a team in my control without turning off morale. I only count seasons where my team is clearly dominant and would be seeded 1 or 1A going into the playoffs.
As it stands now I think the morale system may exert just a bit too much influence on playoff results. However I'd rather fight that, than win 5 consecutive WS with no opposition. |
Since this post, I lost out in two seasons then made the WS three years in a row, winning the last two. Although I still have the best team in MLB, they are not nearly so stacked as many of my past teams. I really did not expect to win these last two, well maybe I should have expected the last one as I got back a dominant SP from an 11 month injury in August.
There have been a couple of beta patches applied throughout this run so I could claim that Markus has tweaked morale slightly.
Otherwise my case is not so strong now. If I win three in a row, it's toast.
