Here's how to improve sim standings/stats
If you're having a problem with this particular issue, try the following: Edit select teams and place select star players on multiple lines.
The sim engine has a tough time simming accurate stats for a number of key players. Crosby, Malkin, Datsyuk and Zetterberg are four examples. Due to inconsistencies in the sim engine, some stars players are lucky to rack up 50-60 points in a season. That in turn is one reason why a team like Detroit will miss the playoffs on a regular basis when you sim a season.
To counteract these sim engine issues, place Crosby as the C on lines 1 and 3, and Malkin as the C on lines 2 and 4. Put Datsyuk and Zetterberg as the C and LW on lines 1 and 3. You can do this for any player of course. But you have to be careful who, as sim stats pretty much pan out correctly for many players. Ovechkin is one example: his stats are fine. If you put him on two lines, he'll win the scoring title by 50 points.
Do it, then run a couple of sim seasons. Check standings and stats and see the difference for yourself. Just keep in mind it's not a complete fix. Detroit and Pittsburgh will still miss the playoffs, even with those guys racking up 100 points a season. But this will give those teams a better chance of reaching the post season, and will definitely improve your scoring leader stats.
