In real life they may try to figure out how things might come out, they might even plug their teams into OOTP which would be fine, but they don't run the players out there ahead of time, multiple times, to see how things go which is what you are suggesting (since our players/teams/leagues are actually in OOTP that is what you would be doing).

A commish doing this in an online league is very blatantly cheating and will not have a league for long when he is caught. Even if we bought into the 'they do it in RL' as you say everyone in the league would need to have the ability to sim ahead under their own parameters for it to be even remotely fair.
