Tweak by tweak it gets better, patch by patch release by release. It is not a simple math equation to plug into Excel and get a 3-2 score on May 17th 1967 when history told us it was 3-2. It might be rained out. That wasn't historical either, hell we can argue about weather patterns and El Nino in 1967 then, that's not the point - its a monument to baseball sim in much the same vein as any other wonder of the world.

I agree it isn't supposed to recreate the exact statistics and results but the managerial strategies used should look pretty much the same as what is used today since that can be recreated. Like I said, I can't remember ever seeing one of a team's top two defensive players being pinch hit for late in a game with a lead, never mind both of them.

Yes there is but as has been explained, I'm not interested in doing this for every team. I just want the managers to have realistic but different strategy settings so you get variability within a realistic set of parameters.

NFL coaches throw all the time in that spot plus because of time management it was the only way to get three plays in and still be able to keep the defense guessing as to run or pass on 2nd down.
