Re: What impacts simulation results?

I'm TCU and we're #3 in the country. Two weeks from now we are scheduled to play #9 Texas. In between the game though I play 1-3 K-State in a trap game. I simmed it and lost 31-28. Most of the time it's just random, but I've noticed that most games I'll win when simming if I have the better QB.

I was going to post a similar observation. I have noticed that teams with players who fit their scheme better will not win a simulation as often as they should UNLESS they are the higher rated team or have the highest rated QB.



When I'm doing a dynasty with 8 or more playoff teams, I'll simulate the game in the game engine (I'll watch a football or hockey game on TV while the game is running) rather than accepting the results of the sim engine because I want the playoffs to contain the teams that are the toughest to play against.
