How do you play vs. the cpu? (weigh in)

[Max Juggernaut]

Do you play all the games in a season or associate or 29 game season? Do you play just the playoffs. Do you play 82 games and sim some. I am looking for something different cause I usually play a 29 game association but wanna do something new..

I play all 82 but if I'm getting blown out or blowing a team out (20+) I sim to the end. Late third or early fourth qtr. i usually sim when getting blown out if I'm getting 2ked (one of those games nothing's working)

I play an 82 game season and play all my division games and games against opponents with star players (Lakers, OKC, etc.).

Works out to be right around half the games. I will also play the games near the end of the season if a playoff spot is the line.

I play all playoff games.

I usually pick a crappy team, sim 3-4 seasons while rebuilding the roster (trades, draft, FA) and coaching staff and once I'm happy with the results I play an entire 82 game season. I'm 5-1 with the new look Cavs. I find it more fun when all the pieces of a team are put in place by me so it makes things more compelling to play.

I usually play 29 game season and then play all the playoffs games in the standard format. Other times I pick a bad team simulate three seasons with everything to be decided by the CPU and then build the team up from there.

I roll with the 58 game option (or whatever the 50+ game option is).

I play the first few games...see if I like the chemistry, talent of the team. If not, I make some trades, sim some games, then play some more...then see if I like the team...if I really like the team, I play as many games as I can. If I think it would be better to rebuild through the draft/free agency, I sim up to 1/2 of the schedule.
