march 26, 2018: any time a new release comes out, things can change. this should be good as of now through ootp18. most things will be the same. the new ratings system may or may not cause some adjustments to suggested ratings at various MiL levels. I'll adjust them once i play wiht '19 for a few months unless it's terribly obvious a change is required in the suggestions. make use of stats campare to league baselines to guage competency and verify the ratings suggested in the meantime.

Foreward:

I will do this in three posts. The first will be a basic yearly cycle of tasks. The second portion will deal with when to promote prospects. Some behaviors are repeated and possibly shortened or paraphrased the second time they are noted.

Assumes AI control of:
-MiL FA Signings and Releases
-MiL Promotions and Demotions
-MiL Depth Charts, Lineups and Pitching Staffs

if, like me, you have the propensity to be absent minded, this yearly outline is even useful to the more experienced. Since I started working on this, I reference it on occasion. Copy/paste and edit it to tailor it to your settings and play style.

If people have dates of certain things that could be added to the yearly cycle, make a post. I don't pay attention to waivers, for example.

A note to beginner's:

Before you begin playing any league review all settings after creation one-by-one and make a backup when you are satisfied. You may want to copy this Backup directory and rename it for long-term storage. When you click backup in the future, it will not touch the renamed directory. If for some reason you find a problem 10, 20 years out you can easily amend that problem and begin again.

Expect to be frustrated a bit at first. There are many moving parts to the game, but once you get it, you'll appreciate the sophistication. You can choose to micromanage or delegate to your wishes. It is only complicated if you want it to be.
