Because when individuals put in their time to play games only to have it simmed and lose a major player to injury for 40+ games is lame. (using Zukes as a recent example, where Tavares got injured for 47 games or w/e in a sim, that was beyond his control because he couldn't play AI).

Once again, there are way better alternatives for fan of sim only hockey in terms of a GM aspect. I firmly believe the appeal of NHL 13 Connected is to make your mark on a team and use that in the games. I don't mind playing AI but if a game was left simmed because a user didn't want to change to AI and didn't want to play I'd be upset.
