True, but your odds of winning a cup, leading the league in scoring or winning an individual award were astronomically better then.
It's ridiculous to punish a player for not winning a cup when they played their whole career in a 30 team league. There were ~12 years of 12-18 teams, ~12 years of 21 teams, 10 years of 25+ teams, and now 17 years of 30 teams.
