Simming a game vs watching a game: a possible difference

[SteveP]

I watch more games than sim them, but I am increasingly convinced that there is one real difference in what occurs, when playing a non-DH league.

When I watch a game, the AI team will often do double switches when a pitcher is scheduled to bat in the next inning (in late innings). However, the AI manager for my team never does a double switch.

OTOH, when I sim the entire game, I find that my AI manager has done double switches at the same rate as other team AI managers.

Would be interested to see other people check this out before I post a bug report.

There was a discussion on this not too long ago on this forum. I can't find the thread right now, but I distinctly recall the discussion.

Not relevant. I am comparing a situation in which the AI is managing your team regardless. In one case, you are watching the game. In the other case, you are just reading the box score/game log after the game has been simmed. My observation is that the AI manager does something different depending on which way you are playing the game. It shouldn't be that way, but it is hard to ignore the evidence. When I watch the game, my AI manager never does a double switch. When I don't watch the game, he often does. I have seen no other difference.

Because I noticed this as well notationally.
