Yes - It is in automatic mode (cover-up) WHEN you have AI/Computer contorlled strageies turned ON -
However, when you have this option turned ON - You also have all the baggage of terriblly flawed strategies being given (example, Big punchers, fast starters, being told to "fight outside defensive" for 3 of the first 5 rounds........ Guys scoring KDs and then being told in the next round to "fight outside defensive", etc, etc).
In earlier versions TBCB corner AI was much more reasonable - Much more often the very static "fight normal" option was given - And where AI strategies were suggested they seemed to have made much more sense -
Bottom line is now (which you are being confused on) is when you have the AI/Computer controlled strategy turned OFF..... This is when the "cover-up" option is not automatic - A pop-box opens up each time a fighter is hurt...and asks (you the player) "do you want fighter X to cover-up or not".
This shouldn't be - There should be an automatic YES to such a quesiton - Of course when a fighter is hurt, he is going to revert to some type of "cover-up" mode or protect himself addtionally mode (that doesn't mean the doesnt' fight back some).
TBCB is a great game/SIM. However, we seem to have a flaw in one of the most important aspect of the game engine itself (that doesn't allow for a work around). Bad ratings, venues being off, lack of energic commentary, all issues such as these are very ignorable and or self-correctable......
However, when you have a game/sim engine related issue......These can only be corrected via a patch. That is where we are at.
Plain and simple. I am not running down this Sim. I love it. It has the ability to be just that......a real SIM (different from a game). However, in terms of running a universe, it has a real issue right now. In that one can't sit and watch every single round of every single fight (just in order to hit "yes", cover-up when hurt for every fighter).
