I play GM only so I don't have control over player usage.

I only put players on the TB that are not performing well as opposed to trying to get offers that could be seen as real steals. Not performing well is usually a combination of GR and stats that I look at.

I do not initiate a trade, ever.

Most important of all, since it seems the CPU will only offer me trades for my players on the TB anyway, I accept ALL trade offers UNLESS the player I am offered is more than 5 years older than my player on the block. I may revise this one once I'm contending and not rebuilding.

I sign ALL my rookies to at least an entry level contract before I decide if I want to get rid of them.

Since I'm playing a replay of the Sens since their inception, when comes draft time, I randomly select a scouted player sorted by potential (scouting is too accurate sadly). This is to not give myself an edge over the CPU since...player recognition.

I play with the game engine for development over recalc according to life for some variance, again, because of name recognition.

That's about it.
