I'm assuming skewed results in historical leagues will also translate to skewed results in this year's "hyped" best MLB roster ever?

I've played a whole lot of MLB seasons over the years in OOTP and played around with a whole lot of current MLB rosters and never.ever.ever played out a season that was even what could be conceived as similar to the real-life season. Standings are always alarmingly different. Team stats (not just talking about individual) are quite different.

Never understood how a game with as deep and diverse statistical engine could blow it in such a major way.

I do love the Fictional League though. However, I've always purchased the OOTP games hoping upon hope that I can recreate and play out some real-life seasons and get close proximities. Never happened so, the Ficitional League option is just something I have to indulge in order to justify my yearly investment. Not that I'm bitching...Fictional play is fun and a decent 2nd choice.

Keep hoping, though, one of these years I'll be pleasantly surprised with MLB rosters and can simulate accurately with these.
