An update, if anyone actually cares.
The spell hasn't ended yet. Over the past 15 rounds of games, my nine active teams are 63-72, but two of them have actually done well. Subtract those two, and the total is 42-63.
The worst are two teams that fell out of first place with 4-11 and 2-13 stretches.
Now, if you subtract only those two teams, the record is 57-48, which would be O.K., except that the 42-63 record has eroded the standing of every team except the two warm ones.
Some owners claim the Sim is too streaky. I've never been one of them. I've endured long dry spells as far as championships but I've never suffered an extended slump across the board equal to this one before.
And even then I realize that there are owners out there who've never won championships and some who have a hard time getting their ratings in the plus range. So, I'll stop whining publicly now.
Oh, Sim gods, hear my prayers...
