For leagues that I enjoy I play out 90% of my games. I play until I am 10 games ahead/behind after the ASG. If I dominate, I don't play until the playoffs, if I am just Ok I play all 162.

What ratings do you keep on and why 1-5 vs 1-10 which is what I normally use.

Getting drafted say in 2000 and coming up at any point in the next 10 years for your team. Are you able to build successfully through the draft or are you forced to rely on FA and trades?

I gave it a try one time on a fictional 8 team league starting in 2000. After ST my team was 2-22. I played the 1st 10 games and was 0-10. I used Inaugural Draft. This was on 12.
