If the entire NT had been simmed at once -- all 6 games in one cycle -- the winner of such a debacle could not possibly believe they deserved to win it. I hope we all agree on that. And simming 2 games in one cycle, both when they shouldn't have been simmed yet at all, is just a smaller version of that. I think it's pretty obvious that simming it again was necessary, exactly as it was done. Giving people credits is just a way of soothing the emotional pain, and I'm all for that, but in no sense does anyone deserve extra prestige or any other in-game bonuses for games they shouldn't have won because they never should have been simmed in the first place.
Now if someone would just go back and resim last season's Knight D3 championship game, I'd be a happy man.
