How do you guys do your franchise?

Re: How do you guys do your franchise?

I make 2 profiles, 1 for my Reds, and 1 for the 29 other teams, that way I control only my team, but can keep a eye out for stupid moves the AI will make. I also follow what is going on IRL, and make trades, transactions, and injuries as they happened IRL. I basically will play all my games as well as all spring training games, will even play several of my minor league team games. Depending on how things are going late in the season, I might end up simming a few games here and there, but for the most part I prefer to play all my games. I also have a tendency, or I guess you would say its being OCD, but I will re sim games to make sure teams IRL are good in this game, and will make sure teams that stink, do the same in my chise, mainly I did it to make sure the cubs suck cause I hate them, not sure how I will do it, if they happen to be good,lol, probably just let them be what they are irl, aint like they will win it all anyway

Ok, so how do you do this? What are your mode specific settings for your Reds vs your mode specific settings for the other 29 teams? Where do they differ?
I've almost got it all making sense in my head now! I would like to operate my chaise like what you've described.

For me all the mode specific options in my profile are manual. And all the mode specific options for the CPU profile is Auto.

Ok. Makes perfect sense. CaseIH mentioned keeping an eye out for stupid trades the cup makes. Does using AUTO for all 29 other teams cause them to attempt trades? If so, is there a way to block certain trades the cpu tries to make with another team?

Each day...check PENDING TRANSACTIONS(you cannot have instant trades on for this....the CPU takes about 3 days to decide on trades.....that's what gives you the chance to intercede)...and the trade offer page...cycle the teams and you'll see the offers.
Just either decline it or let the CPU decide if you don't mind the offer.
