Indeed. "Customer needs" is the primary thing you concern yourself with as a software developer. Business software development is about 70% customer requirements, 30% system design & programming. Game development works a bit differently, but you're still aiming to satisfy the customer.
Are there really online leagues that sim FA a day at a time? I can't even fathom that. In the SCMLB, we sim a week a day, and even that seems a bit too slow for owners -- by the end I'm simming two weeks a day, and no one is complaining about it. I'm not saying FA should take a week, but having an OOTP offseason take as long as a real offseason just isn't going to fly for me, or for most owners I know.
