Not sure how to ask this question, so I'll present it in the form of an example:

Let's say I create a historical REPLAY (meaning no development, etc.) for 1966. Basically, I go through all the steps to create it, but do not advance forward any days, and then simply save it an exit it. Let's call this game 1966A. Then I copy 1966A to create 1966B and 1966C. Then I start over (I do NOT copy) and create another 1966 replay; let's call this 1966X.

So now I have four separate 1966 replays, all of which have the same settings, and none of which have gone beyond the initial creation stages. Now, if I were to let the OOTP play out each one to the end of the season, even though each replay will turn out different, would there be a tendency for replays A, B and C to turn out more similar than replay X? I guess what I'm asking is that since A, B, and C share the same initial creation (player import, etc.), will it have certain similarities that replay X would not have?

Hope this makes sense... Thanks in advance.
