What is acceptable?
 

I have been playing FOF2k4 for about 2-3 months. I have a dynasty that has now reached it 2021. I had an initial draft, and am playing on the most difficult settings. My team has the best record by approx. 40 games over the team with the next best record, and have gone 6 of 7 in the big game (the one loss I lost my top 5 secondary players in the conference finals :mad: ) and have made the playoffs every year but the first.

Is this realistic? I do not engage in trades with the computer, unless the AI offers the trade. Also, in negotiating contracts, I will wait until the final few weeks if a player's demands are too high (but if they are "must-haves" I will give them a contract in early free agency.

What can I do to make things more difficult?

Throw this question out there in the general forum. It'll get more play.

Posted in general discussion, see post there.

Join a multiplayer league. You'll see a whole new level of competition that touches everything from game planning to free agent signing to drafting. I've never played any other online game and wasn't even enthused at first about the multiplayer option, but I am blown away by how challenging it is and haven't even played solo since I joined a multiplayer league.
