Let me share a story about 2K6 for PlayStation 2: I was probably up to about August in the franchise, and A-Rod had around 40 homers or so. All of a sudden, one game, his home run totals become a negative number. So now he had -40 HR and each one he hit after that brought the count closer to zero. Kind of like the doomsday clock that they put on Marvin's post count. It was absurd.
