Getting blown out simming games?

[Dianwei32]

In my franchises I tend to sim the last few games once I've clinched my division, but I've noticed that when I sim games I almost always get blown out by the CPU despite playing really well in games that I do play. When I play games I can usually run well (I have a decent OL and Adrian Peterson) and can pass for 250-300 yards and 2-3 TDs per game.

However, when I sim games I lose 90% of them by 28 points or more and only score 7-10. My QBs always end up throwing 2-3 INTs and maybe 1 TD, and Adrian Peterson only averages 2.0-2.5 YPC (20-25 attempts per game, and I can average 5-7 YPC in user games).

I've kind of been wanting to do a Franchise where I sim the first few years and focus on building a great tem through the draft, but I don't want to if I'll be going 3-13 every year. Does anyone know what I can do to stop from losing all the games I sim?
