Axis by axis
Execution0 vs 1
Pokémon Violet leans harder on execution: Turn-based menus, traversal needs no precision
Reads3 vs 3
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance5 vs 4
Motorsport Manager leans harder on variance: Safety cars, weather changes, and mechanical failures introduce hidden chaos
Optimization10 vs 8
Motorsport Manager leans harder on optimization: Pit timing, compound choice, and car development are deeply solvable systems
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
