two things I think will help. turn off waivers for one thing, and set your ai trading ai to 1 for 1 year stats, 1 for 2 year old stats, 98% for current stats and 25% to ratings and I think they will maintain your team then for a longer period of time, it works for me and I'm lovin it.
Having waivers turned on is a way to exploit the ai because it moves young players up and down all the time and they get caught by human players the good players and even some ai's have exploited it. With it off it's easy to pass players up and down with no stealing issues involved. If they game had some quality ai like Casey Stengel then it might be different, but, I believe and it's easy to see that the same ai is used for every team and every team management and every team trade. The names only have been changed to protect the programmer lol (Markus)
Another setting I turn off is the ability to tell me they aren't going down to the minors. This way I don't have to place them in the assignment section for 10 days then move them back a day then rince and repeat. It's a silly rule anyways allowing an employee to tell the employer what he is going to do and not going to do (especially since I own the business).
) My real life employees hate me for that rule. lol
