I always play them because I like to get a feel of how my team plays. It helps me prepare for the regular season, finding what plays work and what plays don't (even though I play as Dallas every year).

Also, I like to make my own roster cuts. It makes me feel more immersed and in charge. After every game, I look at my roster, injuries, players stats, and how they played, and decide who stays and who goes. For example, if a 70 ovr wr has 4 rec for 66 yards, and a 65 ovr wr has 10 rec for 143 yards and a TD, I will likely keep the 67 ovr receiver and cut the 70 ovr receiver.
