Cheating in the United States of Baseball? Nope! Could never happen in that league!

This game does some weird stuff. Do you have to use the editor to get it to work correctly?

Better a career 0.365 hitter than a career 0.265 hitter.

Pitchers getting rbi hits, fielders throwing to third on sac bunts, hitters hitting in the 180-190 range that probably should be hitting better than that. It kinda seems as much like a circus as a baseball game sometimes. I'm playing MLB 2015 and the Cardinals are my team. I have their roster atm. I am a noob so be gentle with me . lol

Chase Utley was hitting .105 after 30 games... in real life.

Madison Bumgarner had two grand slams last year in real life...

Ted Williams, a career .344 hitter batted .388 at 38 years old...

The game is for the most part an incredible sim (best available on the market anyway)

Seems credible to me. He had two season where he hit .375. And .365 is pretty impressive over a 9 year career. Why couldn't he hit .412 other than because .400 is a magical number in real life?

Sorry, but the problem is that it is just one of many odd things that happen in the United States of Baseball league, especially odder because Warner is on the team run by the person that does the sims.

Just look at the records for the teams run by league admins:

New Boston Red Sox

Scottsdale Copperheads

Great Northern Moose

New Seattle Whalers

Domination like that is extremely rare in any OOTP league and to have it happen with four teams? Fishy stuff, mate.

If you were trying to point out what you believe is cheating in an online league, then you may have a case. But your OP didn't raise that issue. It asked if a career .365 could legitimately hit .412. Context makes things more understandable.

just look up the careers of players that have hit .400. then you can get an idea of what is realistic.

He is the only player to have done it.

Funny that it would happen to a player on a team run by the dude that does the sims and is for all intents and purposes the league commissioner.

Shouldn't that be a red flag?

Did they go on to win the Championship? You have a data point of one possibly questionable thing. It COULD be a red flag, but if you've never seen anything dicey from him before, it's just one red flag in a sea of white ones.

As far as other teams run by league admins . . . if every one of this guy's teams are winning incessantly, then yeah, it seems a little fishy. But you don't mention if it's the same league admin who ran all of those teams, and at least one of the four teams you posted has a career .500 record. The others are definitely strong, but we also don't know what this league is like. Is there good parity in this league? Or is his team like the Yankees of yore?

We don't know if he's cheating, and we barely know enough to form an opinion about whether these are red flags or not.

Bottom line, though, you're playing in an online league for fun! If you're not having fun, because you suspect the commish might be playing fast and loose, then why not move on to a different league?

Read my posts, battists, and I will respond. It is not just one questionable thing.

They do not mess around with the playoffs because it would be too noticeable.

I did read your post. You have one specific questionable thing - this .400 guy (and we're not even sure if his remarkable season led to a championship). Then you mentioned several other teams that perform well, but you haven't said whether all of these teams have been run by the same guy, so it's hard for us to say whether that all adds up to "it smells fishy."

Like I said, though, at the end of the day, this is a game and it's supposed to be fun for you. If you don't trust your commish, it isn't fun. If that's the case, there are a TON of online leagues out there you could change to, many with long long histories and good reputations.

Seems like you have come to a conclusion. I'm confused as to how we can help since we have no way to see what you see.

I have already posted my allegations in their recruiting thread.

The teams I listed are obviously not all run by the same person, but different people that are all league admins or senior members of league. Prospects CONSISTENTLY develop better in their systems and players ALWAYS perform better with their teams.

I left the league months ago but I post to discourage others from wasting their time by joining the league, unless they want to ***kiss their way into an admin position.
