FIFA Manager 14
AI clubs follow scripted logic, no real adaptation
Knights of the Old Republic
All enemies follow scripted AI behaviour trees without player modelling

FIFA Manager 14
Match results and injuries carry simulation randomness
Knights of the Old Republic
Loot rolls and pazaak draws provide hidden information layers
Optimization9 vs 9
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
FIFA Manager 14
Squad, finance and tactics planning dominates entirely
Knights of the Old Republic
Force power selection, feat prerequisites and light/dark routing are systematically solvable
