However, if you play the exact same game again (e.g. ctrl/alt/del and close out OOTP in Windows task manager without saving the game) then you will almost certainly get a different outcome, regardless of whether you sim our play it out. Each game is unique. I am not the developer, but the randomization that I think you are asking about likely applies to each and every at bat. Some at bats may result in the same outcomes, but many will be different and I expect there's randomization built into the AI management aspect also. Hope that helps.
I don't think saving it in the middle works for my experiment though. I need to be able to run it twice from the same spot in order to compare. I think I need to use a backup for that, right? I mean I guess I could force close but that sometimes just corrupts the file.
