Increased Streakiness Topic

Does it matter if they are wearing their spikes?

Speaking of streakiness, how about team streakiness as opposed to player streakiness?
Realizing that this is just a random event, I have a team with the following very apparent W-L, streaks:

11-9
7-2
1-6
11-0
2-12

So, go figure.... you can got 11-0, but that's sandwiched in between a 1-6 and a 2-12 streak....

I have often spoken about this. Teams in WIS seem to be way more streaky than teams in real life. It's not rare to see something like W8, L6, W5, L6, etc.

In any case, it's real and don't let anyone tell you different.

This is most definitely NOT TRUE. There is no adjustment logic of any kind.

Whether you're a new user, incredibly helpful veteran user or the largest troublemaker on our site, all simulations are straight up.
There is no streakiness built into the SIM, and no adjustments based on owner rating, etc.

The absolute saddest part....

There are users who will read TZ's unequivocal statement and still believe that there is still some code that will cause streaks to occur out in the sim.

Quite frankly... You read it here in black on blue. TZ has clearly stated that there is NO such code to artificially randomize performance and induce streaks.

Now, if you STILL believe that this code exists, when the guy who is basically running the site tells you otherwise, then you need to ask yourself: Why am I here, wastinging time and/or money when I can't trust them to tell the truth?

And, while you're at it, please ask yourself why government assassins killed JFK, why they've been hiding a flying saucer in area 51 since 1947, and why IS everybody is out to get you.

I looked at a few MLB team game logs from 2018. All had stretches of streakiness that SIM owners would have complained were unrealistic.

Yankees W3, L5, W4
Oakland W6, L3, W6
Cubs W5, L5, W5
Astros L5, Won 6 of 7, L5
Braves W5, L4, W4 and a W6, L4, W6, followed by losing 4 of next 5
Phillies W3, L4, W5

The Rays had some major streakiness. Within their first 44 games of the year they had win streaks of 6 and 8 and losing streaks of 4 and 8. Another stretch of the season saw them lose 6 of 7, then W6, L3, won 6 of 7, L8
