Good question. The answer is No. (For the most part.)
For the most part, I am not doing a bunch of precalculations or "dice rolls" before the play begins, and then showing an animation that shows a summary of the results. Decision by the players are being made dynamically at run time, so the 2D engine is used to determine the results. The result of the play is not known until the play is finished.
This will work just like Football Pro did - the only difference between a "simmed" game and a played game is that the graphics aren't rendered in a "simmed" game, so there isn't any difference statistically between a played game and simmed game - they use the same engine.
