I downloaded the demo then just ended up buying the game. I started a Fictional player league, simmed three seasons to establish some stats, and then took the team with the worst record. I've played two seasons, finished 67-95, 74-88, and so far in my third season I'm at 58-73 with barely 30 games left, I might not even fare as well as I did last season. Bummer. But I'm learning a lot.

I live in Northern California by the way, north of Sacramento (you live in Modesto?).
It's not unusual to have a dropoff (reality check) in your 3rd or 4th season of rebuilding. That's when you try to get a FA to help if you can afford it.
