Forget about players of a game, AI versus Human. I'm simply talking about the simulation process in a vacuum. Be it historical or fictional, I want the AI to act
not as I would as the human player of this game, but as a real-world manager/Gm would. We need only look at Barry Zito to see the difference here. In OOTP, Zito would have signed that $126M deal and probably started last year in AAA (assuming the game would have shown a ratings drop at the between 2006 and 2007). That's just not realistic at all. Even if they admit their mistake 2-3 years later and dump or demote him, at least they've let his performance dictate their action.
