gambler -> 'New' sim method? (2/27/2005 6:15:11 PM)

David, First of all, I have to say I'm very pleased that there will be a career mode with the game. Second, I noticed you saying awhile back that you were changing the sim engine from one that basically played out a game (without graphics) to a 'quick sim' mode which doesn't. One of my big problems with most games is that the sim engines don't produce the same stats as the played games. I have no idea how close your quick sim engine will be to your played games but I'm wondering if it would be at all possible to keep both sim modes in the game for those of us who want to guarantee that our played games utilize the same stat generator as the simmed games? If I recall, Front Page Sports Football did this and I never had any problem with the time it took to play out a game in the 'full sim' mode even though it was somewhere around 3-5 minutes a game. One of the reasons I'm asking is because, assuming it's still possible (and based on an answer to another question it seems to be with a bit of a workaround) I plan to work on a 'History of Pro Football' utility where ratings change over time for players depending on the era. Not sure what kind of 'almanac' will be in the retail version of the game, but I may work on one of those too, and for me at least, I'll want the stats of the played games to match up more or less 100% to the simmed games... The answer won't affect whether I buy the game, it's already on my list of 'preorder as soon as available', but thanks in advance for the answer. Robert
