Sure, for some of us — like DFB — it doesn’t really matter, but for lots of teams, the difference between 2035-A and 2035-B is staggering. No, what really sucks is that there’s no way to tell which version, if either, is a more typical outcome and which is an aberration.

Replaying a whole season just highlights teams getting especially lucky/unlucky. My team was very lucky to be in first place last season. This season we are very unlucky to be in 5. There really is no "typical." Just put together your best squad, and hope lady luck favors you

This time around we're sitting solidly in second, but still on course to win about 95 games. Except this time, the division winner is on pace to win 104 games. Sometimes you can do everything right and still lose, and baseball is a pretty good example of that.

Big improvement over the last take when my team had the lowest ranking in the league (#1). I mean, its not like we are playing golf where low scores are good. This will be our first season in LL-III since our march up the ladder...

In take 3, I've been more or less completely negligent. The game lost it's charm and other than checking in once a week or so, my team has been on autopilot. Even so, while our cup run was short, my team is still leading our league with a magic number of 11 and a 3.5 game lead. The next series is against the second place team, and is probably the most critical one left. My biggest complaint was that I had some very, very good draft picks in take 2. Take 3 hasn't been so kind.

We were in a solid second place with that record, and had overcome one of our typical awful starts to more or less book our place in LLIV for a team-record third straight season. (Take 2 came and went before it got going.) Take 3? Well our chance at that record has gone...because we're promoting to LLIII for the first time! I need to lie down.
