Mi la cosa numero uno is to never sim too much at once.
Along those lines, KI highly suggest using the live simulator when simming out games at a speed that you can follow at least who hit what and when. Equally important: If you cannot tell me who is in first place in every single division in your league and which teams are in striking distance of the wildcard off the top of your head then you are simming too fast.
Do not be in such a big hurry to blow through 100 seasons. For what? Enjoy every single moment and cherish the league as it comes to life. Develop back stories in your mind. Follow key players on other teams. Rename a couple of draftees every year to something that you will recognize. Don't sign every single free agent and trade for every single "best player." Role play a little. Try to approach it as if it were a real problem and you must come up with realistic solutions. Never be a talent monger. So what if you win 15 divisions titles in a row. Ugghhh. I would hate to be cursed with the type of personality that has to win every single season. For me...I'm glad Casey struck out.
If you starting speeding through seasons all you are really doing is generating numbers. That you could do in microsoft excel.
Anyway, Slow is better.
That's my suggestion.
