I really must apologise, I completely neglected to think of their virtual mental health. We have no clue what happens to them while we are bouncing back and forth in the menus.
It is possible it's why they fail simple passes amongst other things, in that case though it would also appear that virtual concussion is possibly contagious. Every year new players come in but are afflicted with the same issues. As for virtual rebellion it is definitely a possibility, after the working conditions are absolutely terrible. My players are about to play 12 games in the next couple of hours, let alone within a month or so.
Honestly, I believe the thought that goes into the game is much deeper than we can possibly comprehend. They have accounted for unseen injuries, players mental conditions, and possible behind the scenes plotting amongst them. It really is shocking that so much could be put into one game.
