State of the Game

Posted By Dave

This game is in great shape! I say that even though you could scroll down and find my whine about RJ in a couple of leagues.
I still have teams that seem to me to be underperforming--that's why they play the games.
Either I'm missing something as a manager, or they're having bum luck. If the former is true, I should be having trouble. If the latter is true, probablility should equal it out over the entire season.
I've had several trades questioned and it was always pretty clear that they were questioned for good reason--though in a couple of cases I think Mike just liked a player more than the player deserved. Of course, I suspect most baseball fans are guilty of that, no matter how good they are at reading and interpreting the numbers.
I can see that there could be a problem in leagues where Mike is a participant--but I'm the Commish of a traditional fantasy league and I run into those problems.
Mike, one solution is to do like I do in my Roto League--always have such a bad team that nobody can accuse you of a conflict!
Anyhow, keep up the good work. The game is really frustrating at times, but it is improving all the time, and some of the frustration goes with players over performing against you and your own players underperforming--which is really part of the reality of the game.
