Would not and never claimed you would.
It's a sim MODE, just like controlling the player's on-field actions is correctly an ARCADE mode.
People mistakenly have misunderstood "arcade" to refer to realism when that's nothing of the sort. Arcade mode only ever means that the gamer's input is directly affecting the timing and control of the players in the game. Period.
As has been stated many times in this thread, games can and do have multiple modes. Even the greats like FPS, High Heat and Earl Weaver allowed managerial, graphic modes, realistic results and no on-field control of the players. Likewise you could be a joystick jockey and play the same game in arcade mode.
Words have meaning and I'm still not sure why the reality of arcade mode is being perceived as an insult to "The Show" or
The Show (italics for titles noted).
The only reason this came up is someone was citing 3d Graphics as being the domain of
The Show for looking pretty and OOTP was more about realism. I'm happy Markus and crew don't feel that way and have added the 3D playout of the games in a simulation type game.
