With the lack of an intelligent CPU AI you might do a 2+1 so you have to at least fight against the CPU for a few guys each season...and might even lose some. Still I don't know if the CPU AI would battle that hard.

We're doing the same in our online CFM as well. It looks like something like this will have to be done in the offseason until players on the game start asking for realistic contracts. It's too easy to build a power house if you never have to worry about losing anyone. We also make signing bonus mandatory 40% of the contract. That'll make it a little bit harder to just cut a player before his contract is up.
