This explainer on save transfer is for 22 but presumably still valid: OOTP 22 Tutorial Series -Transfer Saved Games Tutorial - YouTube

The trade deadline was a nice novelty for a few seasons, but I don't really do the phases any more (just quick sim through them and, if I am going to make trades at the deadline, do it before starting it). I think the draft seems a little more fun with interesting players 5-10 rounds in, where sometimes it would be like one or two guys that you could envision playing in the big leagues (which is probably realistic, but not fun in a game).

I think it is worth the upgrade, but if money is tight, it isn't a substantial upgrade from last year. I should note that I only play single player nowadays and haven't fooled with perfect game this year.

I have had success with overbidding immediately (2 mio instead of 1 f.e.) and mostly get 2-3 guys i want.

As for the draft: this can be adjusted in a way: for one there is a setting that lets you determine how many prospects are created (setting the Number of draft rounds the game creates players for), this proportionally also creates more or less good prospects.
Personally i like to create for about 40 rounds (default is i think 30) and then after the Pool is announced i randomly remove quite a few 4-5 star prospects so that the Pool ends up deeper in the middle rounds but a bit less so up top.
(And a ton of the remaining high potential guys flame out anyway).
