Previously, I would play all 16 games for my team.

Then I read from another OSer the enjoyment he got out of playing 8 or so games, and simming the other 8. I think he primarily used this strategy b/c he was struggling to lose against the CPU. Simming some games gave the CPU a better shot to steal some W's.

Plus, it makes awareness still have some relevance for the user. I'd still want to have a 'smart' QB and smart players b/c I know a significant portion of the season will be simmed and thus awareness will be accounted for in the sim engine.

I normally sim about 4-6 games, and then 2 other games I'll probably play as the opposing team to get a feel for what it's like to play against the team I've put together.

Even on the weeks that I sim, I most times will still play a random game. I don't like moving through seasons too fast.
