I read all the questions but didn't answer them since I don't play in any Sim leagues. My take is pretty much exactly the same as canes.

Ideally Sim is a playstyle that a User chooses to employ because it optimizes their chance to have success and win games because it mirrors philosophically and in terms of execution that which we see from NFL coaches and players. The game of course needs to require this of them.

That anyone can have sustained or even any success in Madden on Sim mode by playing in a different style than that is 100% the games fault IMO. That people have to come to a gentleman's agreement to artificially limit certain behaviors in terms of gameplay and team management is also 100% a failure of the game.

I understand of course that selling more and more copies and gaining more and more revenue is the sole goal of the publisher and the high level executives, so I understand why the developers literally aren't allowed to make that type of game where illogical and non deceptive play results in the User looking incompetent in every game.

Barring a set of robust sliders and tuners that H2H leagues could modify and employ to make erratic and repetitive play a failing proposition by default I don't know what else they're going to able to do besides making rules, because by design the ease of User success removes the chance for non sim play to be self correcting.
