I'm playing a 40 team fantasy league and so far the only real issue I have is my owner idolizes David Glass  |
i have now gone through 15 seasons, i have tried a lot of different options.
i trust the manager, but not implicitly. i check every 3-7 days to see what they are doing. setting line-ups is fine to me... defensive subs are overkill, but i am fine with it.... I have seen great decision like turning my all-star reliever into a starter, and he turned into my best pitcher for 5 years. i have actually had to over rule the manager a few times i use Strategy settings.
i will never let AI make decision as who makes the roster. i will never again give AI control of releasing players, but mainly because i care about average prospects and i don't want them released. so i now have to handle DLs.
the other thing i don't trust AI is to optimize my farm team's positions, and realize i would be better having my 6/10 SS with great arm learn 3B, so i go through the minors twice a year to have special assignment..i also decide myself when players should be moved up... i am way less aggressive as AI. but then again, i love the minors....
