As for the playing vs. simming debate, I'm all for simming. I don't play my games because I'm not very good... I will lose and my team will look like crap because I'm not good at playing the games. But if I sim or let the honestly pretty good computer play, I get a better indication of my actual team. Some of it is just unrealistic right now. Look at the top scorers... all guys from Ottawa with super inflated point values cause the Ottawa guy is good at the game and running up the score against people who aren't. Not really a realistic GM experience. There's a billion other modes to actually play the game in, I thought this one was more for the simulation experience.
How does that give you a better indication of your team? Most players here can't compete with the hardcore AI, thus making your team appear better than it is. The fun of this mode for me comes from managing my own team and then using that team against real opponents. I don't think it's very fair to sim all your games if you are available to play them. Just my two cents.
