Considering the prime play time is in the evening, the user who cannot play in the evening should have to sim. Majority of users aren't available around the afternoon so it's not fair that the one that's available in the evening has to sim.

Since the change over to easy mode CPU settings A LOT more games are going to sim because people do not want to take the guaranteed loss (and yes its damn near guaranteed) from letting their CPU get manhandled, The setting is wayyyyyyyy to easy. However the users who complained because in the second week because they were not instantly good at the game won out and now the league has to suffer for the remainder of the season.
With more then half of the GMs letting games go to Sims the last few weeks IMO the setting needs to be revisited.

Like I said when I made the change, it's final for the remainder of the season; it can be revisited in the off season. I'm not going to flip-flop settings constantly throughout the season.
If GMs are avoiding having their games played by CPU, making it very difficult for the other player to play against their team and thus forcing a sim, then it'll be mandatory for users to have their settings enabled for CPU play for every game so on the final day or earlier in the week games can be played by either one of the users. It may also be mandatory to post your availability in the matchup thread so then I can keep track of who's actually attempting to play their games or isn't trying to force their way to a sim.
I'll keep an eye on the simmed games for the next two league weeks. On average there's about ~80 total games per week. The fact that ~40 have to be simmed means half the games aren't being played, whereas 80% of games should be played since that seems reasonable. If I don't see that number down to a lower number like ~15 on Sunday, changes may have to be made.
