He thought it was crazy that I wouldn't want to play as the modern team. I told him it's very tempting, but in my current carry over from 2014, Mike Trout is regressing like crazy while Bryce Harper maintains a 99 rating. He immediately got what my issue was.

Without a doubt. This is why I sim 7-8 years into the future then play. There is no comparison to be made to real life. I am one not to care about all real players or matching transactions or anything of the sort. Give me my own created universe to dive into.

People are confused why I do this and tell me to go play OOTP but it is so much more rewarding than being concerned that my good real life hitters are struggling. I started a new franchise, simmed and built up to 2031, so I get the real schedule, in a half real half fake league. Now I am playing it. It's just amazing to do. If people tried it, they would love it.

I will not play the current real life season with any team in any sports game. Give me my own universe every day of the week and twice on Sundays.
