Is it just me or are the sims playing with fewer guys? Look at this one team

https://www.whatifsports.com/hd/TeamProfile/Stats.aspx?tid=6995

They don't have any walk ons but are only going 8 deep. 4 guys have played zero minutes in the first 6 games. Is this right? And why aren't their WE's dropping? They should, right, even if they're freshmen?

Freshmen work ethics would not drop, unless promised minutes.

Ah okay, good to know, thanks piman.

What about this guy- even thought he already has a super low WE, it should start to drop since he's a Junior.

And then there's this team - Rider. They have two Juniors who haven't played a single minute and both have seen 8pt WE drop.

This has to be messed up. People are going to take over teams and have player's WE could be totally destroyed by the sim. Maybe they're terrible players anyway but doesn't help to make them even worse.

Here's some more players losing WE

OK .. but if the suck, cut them when you take over.

They have done a lot to make SIMs pick better lineups. I'm sure they can tweak it better, but players can tranfer if they get upset and SIMs should try to win games by playing the best players, not worry about who is coming next (IMHO).

Of course, other people reserve the right to disagree with me :)

Well you can't cut them your first season (if a new coach) so you're stuck with them.

And how do they know what is best? Not being contradicting, but just asking. If they have a young guy riding the bench who has really good potential then that's who they should be playing so when they are a JR/SR they are good. I doubt that is taken in to account.

But back to my question - is this different with 3.0? Anyone heard anything about this?

At 4-2, I do not figure Coach Simmy will change his rotation now!

SIM logic for teams has changed. You can obviously submit a ticket and see what they tell you. But I have noticed SMs recruiting more agressively, and they said the Optimized SIM gameplay. The did not go into much detail though.

Response from CS-

"Thanks for the note. We've reviewed the logic for SimAI depth charts and have tweaked it to improve and prevent this. It will go out soon."

Cool. Pretty fast response. Glad they're fixing it.
