SIM Difficulty????

[Grinder12000]

What does the setting "SIM Difficulty" do and also

Normalize Player Sim Minutes and
Normalize Player Sim Stats ???

IS there ANY place this is addressed that I am missing?

Normalize Played to Sim Minutes/Stats will make your played game stats average out to what the sim game length is.

Ex. U can play 6 min qtrs games and still get real nba stat lines as if u played a 12 min game. After the games over and u exit out to the calender u can see it adjusts your players stats as if they played 12 min qtrs.

This confuses me since SIMMING I assume the CPU just plays the game in the background and you don't see it. So what difference does it make how long a quarter is if it just adjusts to a 12 minute quarter anyway.

If I play 12 minute quarters and have the SIM set to 6 minutes but normalize what is the difference to Playing 12 minutes and SIMMING 13 minutes.

See where my mind is twisting?

Here is my problem - I'm WATCHING 12 minutes quarters but the SIM stats are much greater. So I thought setting SIM quarters to 10 minutes and NOT normalizing - does that make sense?
