I think you're thinking of the Tool-->Simulator button, not the Sim Multiple Seasons feature. The Simulator sims the same season as many times as you'd like, to see how acquisitions should work out. Seems like the Simulator would be fun to use for a "Season Prediction" during a dynasty thread. There are AI trades and FA signings when you Sim Multiple Seasons.

The Simulator lets you simulate a season (or the remainder of a season) several times, saving the results to a file. This is useful if you wish to use Baseball Mogul to predict real-life events (such as who will be the 2002 World Champion) or to assess the impact of trades or other transactions you are considering.

First, load the file you would like to use in the Simulator (or start a new game if you would like to use the default database). Type the number of times you would like to simulate the season (up to a maximum of 1000) and click 'Simulate'.

Baseball Mogul will simulate the season, saving all results to a file called SimData.dat. To view these results, click 'View Simulation Results'. These results are displayed as follows:
Won: Average number of wins by this team.


Lost: Average number of losses by this team.

WC: Number of world championships.

LC: Number of league championships (not including world championships).

1R: Number of times the team won the 1st round of the playoffs (but failed to win a league championship).

1st: Number of times the team finished 1st in their division.

Wild: Number of times the team won the wild card (this is a subset of '2nd').

2nd: Number of times the team finished exactly 2nd in their division.

3rd: Number of times the team finished exactly 3rd in their division.

4th: Number of times the team finished exactly 4th in their division.

5th: Number of times the team finished 5th or lower in their division.

If you stop in the middle of a simulation, Baseball Mogul will save all results up to that point. You can return later and continue to simulate seasons -- Baseball Mogul will simply add the results to the previous simulations.

If you wish to clear the data from previous simulations, click 'Clear Simulation File'. (Note that if you want to save the old data, you can copy Simulator.txt to a different file).
