Starting a new SP save today and going chem-heavy. I'll use post #108 above as my guide.
I suspect there will be some value here just in preventing me from fixing what ain't broke.
Using a different team-building approach, I just won the FO Bowl in an SP save and had planned ahead so that I could keep the team exactly as it was for the next two seasons. And then I did what every real-life NFL owner who annoys me does: tinkered too much with the team in the next offseason. Now we're 3-and-4 and getting worse every game.
Thanks so much for sharing this approach. I'm very excited about diving in.
