From my own point of view, I'd definitely go for the more realistic experience for sure.
Re the challenge level overall, I'd vote for adding the options to increase difficulty if it's wanted, to keep all players happy.
@ELF014 Please don't misunderstand, I agree with your sentiments. I just think in the terms of those short term random players are still needed to give the return on investment for EA, or there likely won't be a game long term.
Keeping more people happy seems to be a safe bet for us to have a game that will be at least maintained for a long time, and hopefully have further development.
@RodSirloin There's no reason why the game cannot cater to all levels though, which is the main point I was trying to convey.
