This thread reminds me of a post I made some years back in which I pondered whether OOTP should strive to make the AI more realistic or more competitive. The implication is that behaving like a real manager/GM is not equivalent to maximizing competitiveness, at least not in OOTP (where "player personalities" consist of a few numbers tied to traits).

I think this is something the game continues to struggle with. It isn't really possible to have aspects of the game work both in the most sound way possible and in the most realistic way possible, simply because reality is not sound.
