Personally i think the person is missing the point of being in an online league. It isnt just about winning, its about building your team, going through hard times,
finally putting the puzzle together. Then trying to stay on top as long as you can but doing it through legit trades and draft. Even if you make a bad trade then you learn from it. Stacking the deck just takes the fun away. I had a nephew that would do the same thing in Madden. Trade away all players for superstars. To me why even be in an online league and ruin the league for everyone else. That would be the same as someone who was in a league and just let the computer do everything possible for his team.

It took me from OOTP2 till OOtp6 to finally join a league. I have only been in the league for 3 seasons but its been enjoyable. In my first season i had to get to know my team. In my second season the team took a step backwards but i saw some young players develop. I also realized that i had to get rid of Sam Crawford. Crawford had been with my team since 1901 and i beleive it was after 1916 that i let him go but i had too in order to get some young pitchers. I only improved a little bit in my 3rd season but i think i am starting to put the pieces together for a run at the pennant. But there is a legit powerhouse team in my league and with injuries theres no guarantee my team wont regress. If so then i have to deciede were to make the changes or if a firesale is needed. If i make it to the top then its who can i afford to keep that will give me the best chance of winning.
To me its a waste of time and no fun to cheat to win but if a person must do it then cheat at solo play and dont ruin an online league
