In versions 11 and 12, I found that the AI will sometimes keep a player in the lineup after he has been injured enough to seriously reduce his performance for, say, three days. I do not yet know if iOOTP13 acts this way.

If you have not chosen the setting that notifies you of everything and pauses the sim, this could be a problem.

And if you set your rotation rigidly, the AI will sometimes start a tired pitcher.

And the AI will not bench a "cold" player, although I do not know if being "cold" diminishes performance or is merely a wake-up call to inattentive players.

And if you let the AI set the depth chart, and the depth chart's choice about how frequently to substitute fielders, you might get some unhappy results. The AI is not strong at this.

And if you do not have the lineup set to let the AI make changes, you might make depth chart changes that are ignored.

For these reasons I seldom sim a whole week.
